"I made some poor life decisions and even worse career choices, I NEED Government to hold my hand and pave a pathway for me. "
True, but that is the narrative for a lot of people not just me. A lot of this though is out of the person's control. Intelligence, skills, abilities predetermine a person's success so it really isn't there fault for not being born with the abilities to be successful and thus they shouldn't be punished by not being given a living wage like everyone else, it is called treating your fellow man humanely. Luckily Truck Driving has paved a pathway for me. Im finally making 40k a year driving a truck, never made that kind of money in my life feel pretty good. I was making only minimum wage at McDonald's and they got rid of me for not counting change correctly. So I took up over the road truck driving. A friend of mine has a good paying job with the city driving a garbage truck. Like me he struggled with jobs, employers called him dumb. But hey the government was able to provide him a great paying job driving a garbage truck with great benefits. I am trying to get into that now and leave over the road. The Government needs to create more government jobs for people. In my view it is the governments job to either find a person a living wage job or pay the person a living wage regardless. I know a lot of guys who aren't the brightest guys like myself working pretty good dirty government jobs. A friend of mine was put in slow classes in high school, he was lucky enough that he got a good paying job as a police officer in Harvey, IL.
Remember there are plenty communist nations out there that will spoon feed you and make you their pet human...the Dictators are awesome. They may tell you you can't have children and control what days you take a shit on...but hey, they won't let you starve.
We here under our democracy prefer to incentivize citizens to do and be better and not create limitations. We really like liberty....One has the ability to choose feast or famine...there's a very simple manual to follow and if one is ambitious and smart enough to follow it it almost always leads to the American Dream.
