As a young, black, American male I have to say that the american way of life in general is despicable. Instead of trying to emulate the governments of the world most liveable countries in the world like Canada and Sweden, Americans seem to be hellbent on creating a greater disparity between the rich and the poor.
You people should all remember that we are all social beings and that none of you could ever survive on your own. You all talk about rights and individual freedom but you don't realize there are such things as positive and negative freedoms. The economic liberty of the few, rich individuals can lead to the economic downfall of many. Without welfare, minimum wage and a progressive tax system the economy can spiral into depression.
You need government to put an injection of money into the economy to get it out of depression. If you want to abolish welfare and taxes and social security you might as well put a bullet to the economies head.
Bottom Line:
Keynesian economics(clinton)=good
free market economics(reaganism)=bad
If you don't believe in Keynesian economics then your an idiot. Or a libertarian.
FYI Libertarians are also known as the new right. Reagan and thatcher were heavily influenced be libertarian ideas. Don't be fooled by Skitz. He's Satan in disguise.
