Just look to the wonderful class mobility in his hero Putin's nation. Their middle class is bursting at the seams with prosperity.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835) Trade list http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18047755

Well, I know plenty of poor (Dutch poor)people who work like devils, and they will remain poor until the day they die. So... yeah.

Feel sorry for me all you'd like. There are plenty of opportunities for the poor and if they choose not to utilize them, it's no skin off my bones.

You do realize that there are many, many vital jobs for society that pay jack shit, right? As I said, in your opinion everybody should be a stockbroker. That is just insane.

Except it is skin off your bones, in the form of public subsidization for impoverished people, in the form of economic disadvantages, education, etc.
Having a nation where 1/5 people are impovishered actually affects everybody.

Well, that is the logical conclusion I drew from your comment. If that is not the end result of your way of thinking, then what is?

No. But I do think a firefighter should make a pretty decent buck (Don´t know if they do in the US), as should nurses, mental health workers, cleaners, garbage men, gardeners, etcetera etcetera.

If they choose to be impoverished, why should I care? Their shittiness may rub off on me a little bit but there's nothing I can do about it.
