[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] [QUOTE]If yes, then answer these questions... [/QUOTE]To answer these questions I have to ask a couple: Do you view a house as a 'right' or an accomplishment? Do you view transportation (I assume you mean a car and not public transporation) as a 'right' or as an accomplishment (especially a new year model)? Do you view economic stablity in retirement years as a 'right' or as a consequence of years of financial restraint\responsibility? Depending on how you answer these questions yourself, Buck, I think you're going to find my answers more in line with your "Heartless B@astard" comment. First off, yes, I do want those things for me and my family. No, I do not expect them to be given to me. I expect to have to work for them and if I want to have 'better than average' in all the stated categories I FULLY expect that I will have to put forth 'better than average' efforts to achieve them. [QUOTE]Why shouldn't an individual that doesn't have the ability either intellectually or financially to get a college degree, be afforded the same quality of life as you, if they are willing to work for it?[/QUOTE]Because from a societal point of view they do not contribute to the whole in equal proportion. Supply and demand applies to labor, Buck. If someone can be easily replaced at a lower cost to the employer then the corresponding 'value' of that labor is lower than one that is harder to replace. Remember, college education is not the only form\manner to acquire 'value' to an employer. Years of service\honing skills is just as valuable (perhaps even more so) than a degree. It is the composite value that the individual has for the employer that dictates his\her wages. [QUOTE]Why should they only be entitled to earn enough to take care of themselves and NOT have a family?[/QUOTE]Mostly answered above, but with one other point. They aren't 'entitled' to anything in my opinion. Noone is. You can 'earn' whatever you're willing to labor for. If you wish to have a family, then find work that will allow it. Don't just expect everyone to hand you what you feel you 'deserve'. [QUOTE]Do you view yourself as "superior" to those less fortunate/educated?[/QUOTE]From a 'everyone has value' or a spritual 'great is the worth of souls in the eyes of God' aspect, of course not. As Glass posted about the children being innocent of their parents actions, I feel that all people are a valuable font of potential. That being said, from a societal standpoint, some people's contributions to the whole are more valuable than others. That is why there are different pay grades\scales for different jobs. It is not the vaule of the person 'as a person' that is being 'judged', it is the value of their labors that is. [/QB][/QUOTE]
