Hard work is not the only predictor of financial success in life.
Having a head start of an intact nuclear family and good parents who had the resources and the wherewithal to do a good job in giving their children all possible advantages also helps.
There's also luck and social connections.
Of course, I agree wholeheartedly it's not the government's job to "fix" inequa ...[text shortened]... ity of outcomes. Believing that it is leaves no logical endpoint short of full-on Harrison Bergeron.
hard to do that with dems suppressing and encouraging fatherless families, a culture that smiles upon sticking it to the man at the dept store bringing home that bling and nikes
@mott-the-hoople saidThe out and out racism that right wingers bring to this Forum is truly nauseating.

Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows
"We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled," Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft circulated inside the court.
@mott-the-hoople saidNuclear families often result in atomized people.

It's a valid and not necessarily worse approach for someone to have children by several different fathers and for Grandma to help raise the kids.
Some value connections and relations more than money and material goods.
@kevin-eleven saidIF it turns out a conservative leaked it, right wingers will do a 180 degree turnaround and praise him/her for doing so.

@mott-the-hoople saidDems have a plan. They hammer on it behind closed doors, 24/7. We don't do that. Too busy keeping ahead of inflation. And the thinkers will. The others, some on this Forum, will be buried by it. There are studies recently done that it may take an additional $5000 per year to survive. And y'all never write about Inflation, or the Border, y'all write about Trump and abortion. They are what they are. Inflation and the Border are yet to come.

@averagejoe1 saidNothing can or should be done to "fix" inequality.
So, in this light, what 'could have been done' when the disadvantaged was born? So that they come out the same way as their contemporaries, esp the rich ones? What?
What are you libs getting at when you say stuff like this, with our hanging on your every word, waiting for 'the answer', the surprise ending?
Why does Biden not clarify what we are all thinking, ...[text shortened]... ke Marauder endeavored to do, rather than our having to tolerate his conflicting statements all day.
Society has a responsibility, in my mind anyway, to try to ensure each person has a reasonable opportunity for sustenance and basic human dignity. Society should also try to protect and support those unABLE to provide and care for themselves. Beyond that, it's in all of our interests to give each person a reasonable opporunity to reach his or her potential.
But inequality in itself? I see nothing wrong with there being rich people and poor people in the world. It's a reality of society anyway. It would take extreme coercion to change that.
@kevin-eleven saidYou'd rather the Republicans got to sit on that until late November?

EDIT: My mistake. MB spams so many conspiracy site links that it becomes difficult to tell them apart.
@averagejoe1 saidIt just kills me when one conservative has a disagreement in principle with another conservative, and you can start a 10-second countdown until one calls the other "a liberal", as if that were the worst insult imaginable.

Surprise, MB. Sue still doesn’t accept the facts. Watch out for gaslight nonsequitooor and irony.

"Once you're down, that's where you'll stay"?
Because they should be lucky to have a street to sleep on?
ALL it would take is more people actually caring about other humans.
So much for these "pro-life" pretenders.
