Everything you just posted is the Republican justification for inequity and bad social policy. When every other country in the world is doing it differently that your system - which by your own admission is a bad system, you should be looking at what is working better in other countries.
In the USA, you punish poor people for being poor. It's not a choice, it's a system that keeps one class of people "in their place". Republicans started dumbing down education in the 1980's, because the black middle class was growing through education. End affirmative action, end the War on Poverty, end the growth of the middle class.
The American middle class has been declining in wealth and influence since 1980, when Reagan came into office, and ended the War on Poverty, affirmative action, and tried to end all social programs for the poor.
Your entire post is an indictment of your nation and your own stupidity in accepting this status quo.
The only thing you said correct in your reply is every other country does it differently. That's why people are coming to this country instead of those others. Our Border Patrol is reporting they are capturing illegals crossing our border from over 110 different countries, not just those from our south. They are flying or taking boats to Mexico just for a chance to get into the United States. I would say we must be doing something right to be so desirable.
Yes, being poor in our country is a choice. The government doesn't decide where you can work, if you can work, or how much you can make. Every American makes that decision for themselves. And when did we end Affirmative Action? What year was that? When did Republicans dumb down education? Please post an example. When did the war on poverty end? What social programs have Republicans ever try to end?
All these lies about what Republicans did, yet since the 80s, we had two Democrat Presidents each serving 8 years; each with an all commie Congress for two years. This will be the third one since the 80's. So what did they reverse in the 17.5 years of power?
