The best way to create opportunity is to create jobs. It's no secret the more jobs that are out there, the better opportunity you will have to get one. The last four years the opportunity wasn't there as it has been in the past. It could have been it if weren't for this Administration giving money to South America to drill offshore oil, while ours have remained the same, when more offshore drilling could have came online. Not to mention the big job loss when the Administration decided to not fully back the XL pipeline. Instead money was given to several failed companies in Green Technology that went bankrupt. Again more job losses from those failed ventures.

Want a better education system? Then get rid of the federal education department and let individual states decide what's best for their local population. Instead of a bunch of hot shot Government officials that THINK they know what's best for everyone, when they don't know anything about what's going on at local levels. This is a HUGE flaw, If it weren't a flaw then we wouldn't be placing on the bottom of performance education scores compared to other countries that pay far less money. Also the teachers unions are a big problem as well. Sure teachers should get good pay for what they do, but we also need to remember most barely work 10 months out of the year. The teachers and the students would be far better off if there weren't a teachers union.



We have social nets for people that need them. They are there to HELP, not as a career choice. As far as going after your dreams, are you trying to say you can't go after your dream because someone else went after theirs and made a lot of money? Are you a quitter when things get tough? Seems like you believe when things get tough someone should come bail you out.

You can do whatever you want, if you don't go after your dream that's your problem. It's not because someone else succeeded and you didn't, that's called being a fucking cry baby. People that have went after their dreams and made a lot of money deserve it. If going after your dreams were easy EVERYONE would be rich. But we don't live in fantasy land, we (or most of us) live in the real world.

I would love to hear about any country in history that has wiped out hunger,disability,sickness & homelessness. Please indulge!

I think the closest anyone has come is us. The poorest in our country are still in the richest 1% of the world...

From what I have heard the poorest among us are in the top 30% of the world, got it from NPR, last year during the OWS movemeant.

Absolute "richest" is meaningless - wealth is a ratio of money in/money out, someone living in a bush in Africa with an access to shaman doctor is richer than unemployed, uninsured person living in the projects in the US.

Great then come live in America because all that is here.

BTW a poor person in America gets free health care that is a lot safer then a shaman.

Are you kidding? How can you possible think that the healthcare available in the U.S. is a basic human right and then say that a shaman is effective healthcare?

You forget that thanks to your side, many many many people in the US don't get access to this basic right of healthcare.

A shaman is BETTER than NOTHING that a lot of people in US currently get.

Have you seen Texas uninsured figures? Something like mid -20%.

I bet they would take even a shaman, if one was available.

The concept that people have a 'right' to healthcare, is just slavery. Its forced labor and immoral.

You can feel bad for people who lack, you can certainly help them of your own volition. But using violence of govt to force others to provide them with free services simply because its how you would like the world to operate makes you no better than any other slave master.

When bad morals masquerade themselves as "good", that is the true face of evil.
