I agree -- which is why you can't trust 100% of society to care of themselves. Self-sufficiency is a good personal philosophy and a horrible one for governance. It worked better back when we all farmed the land for a living..that's now how modern societies work. People aren't self sufficient. They are just usually overpaid or underpaid.

Juris, you seem to think that its everyones right to be an upper millionare.
This country isnt that. Its not the right country for you I'm afraid. Unfortunetly I dont think there is a place on earth that is right for you though, since you live in a fantasy world.
America is a country where there is nothing stopping you from getting out of whatever economic position you are currently in, and in some cases, if you're lucky or smart, strike gold and become very wealthy.
But you seem to think that everyone should be able to be
as well off as anyone else.
That's fantasy. Sure if I start with 100k Im going to have a nicer car and a fancier pad than you, but that doesn't mean Im better or worse than you.
Your problem is you're spending so much time being jealous of that 100k that you're missing the fact that you have had many opportunities to get out of whatever economic situation
YOU'RE in that makes you so upset.
You have every right to get out of it, and have every opportunity to but you dont necessarily have the right to start at an even playing field as anyone else. Your starting position is a decision that was made by your parents. Its their right to make that decision, and you're entitled to cry about it, but to demand that you get to start where Richy Rich started, even though their parents or their grand parents had the foresight to not buy that condo in Florida that they went bankrupt over, gives their kin the entitlement to start, where you can only hope to make it one day.
If you dont like what you were given, dont blame rich people, blame your parents. If you think it's unfair that rich people get a better start than you, then do your best to not be a hypocrite and make sure your kids have what you think is "luck" so they can get a better start.
If in 40 years they say, "dad why didnt you pay for our school and give us a small loan" and you say "well I was trying to get socialism in america to be a thing online" they're going to say, "oh because you were a loser, well thanks for living in a fantasy world, dad"
Wake up, get outa bed, go to work, save money, build, and stop demanding that by simply doing those things, you deserve a pool and a Ferrari.
Being. poor. is. a. choice. You're just upset your parents made the choice that you'd start with less, so they could watch a lot of TV while they ate dinner.
