The government didn't set my wage. I taught myself how to get a better life by educating myself and working hard.

If they can't get a better job how the hell are they going to afford a high priced education? If they get a loan how are they going to raise a family with those loan payments hanging over their head?

It is a vicious cycle.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
