Blah, it's not fear, it's just that this nation was built on the idea that you get exactly what you work for whether it be by labor, or brains.
Or you can lay around smoking dope, making babies, and drinking beer until your welfare check comes.
The governments role in this capitalistic type society is to do the bidding of the citizens, and to keep their friggen noses out of our business.
There are plenty of people from many different races, and backgrounds that understand this concept and have succeeded.
But there is a certain amount of low life people from all the same races who think everybody owes them something.
It's odd but my step family in England love neuvo-socialism, especially the "healthcare", but my best friend from Russia hated/hates it and warns me of how terrible it was for his parents, an engineer and a lawyer, who made no more than anyone else, worked very long hours and still lived in sub-standard housing.
Could be that the US should deport all the people like you, and NoBama that don't like capitalism, so that the millions who apply for citizenship every year can immigrate from their socialist countries. Must be a reason they all want to come here.
"In 2009 alone, more than 1.1 million people, including nearly 21,000 living in Arizona, became legal permanent residents, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's 2009 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics. The largest single group of new permanent residents nationwide, 15 percent, was born in Mexico. Six percent came from China and 5 percent came from the Philippines.
I think some are missing your point. Capitalism creates, however, unbrideled capitalism takes. Corporate welfare and a system that has been created to serve the elite does indeed take more than it gives back. That is a major reason why we have seen an ever larger gap between the haves and have nots and an ever shrinking middle class.
Of course, the answer is NOT nanny state welfare - that just puts more and more people into a government supported and perpetuated lower class at the expense of our individual liberties and taxpayer dollars. Level the playing field to allow more opportunities for people to earn and deserve a greater share of the wealth. Otherwise, redistribution without incentives will be about as successful as all the thousands of failed communes.
