Don't let anyone tell us we can't have nice things - like good roads, schools, and health care - as if the world's richest nation couldn't possibly afford it.
A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...
The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.
All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."
After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.
The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.
As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.
The average of the second test was 6.
When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.
The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real

I think you would help black students much more if you raised the education standards at schools citywide than by doing affirmative action for a couple dozen seats at Stuyvesant.
Lincoln is in a scarcity mindset - the most important thing is arguing about who gets which piece of a fixed pie. Instead we should grow the pie, raise the quality of education every student is getting.
The problem isn't that the admissions process is racist. It's that far too many kids, often disproportionately black kids, are receiving terrible quality instruction for most of their lives, and by the time admissions season rolls around they're so far behind they have zero shot at a school like Stuy.
Politicians always want to raise taxes. Have they ever thought of eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse?
I just exposed $190m of fraud, and they are completely silent.
Why?
They don't want the fraud exposed. They would rather blame millionaires and billionaires for your problems
@PolitiBunny I see you already to the backwards alphabet thing. Also try eating a sour patch kid or a sour apple jolly rancher- the hit of very sour interrupts the signaling.
The moral argument against a wealth tax is simple:
Your wealth is not a public resource simply because other people are envious of it.
If it was earned voluntarily and without violating anyone's rights, others have no moral claim to it.
