I think I would have to say I agree with most of my fellow
bloggers on this topic. In Richard Wilkinson’s Article “How economic inequality
harms societies” he talks about all the problems in our world today involving
the economic side of the world we live in today. I do not think that there is a
way we can all ever be totally equal or that there is a way to fix this problem
but I do believe that there are things that are being done wrong. The problem with
this economic system that really makes me mad would be how we give money to
lazy people. I am all for giving money and helping people out, I am not in any
way saying that the rich should or shouldn’t help the poor or anything like
that because that is way too into the politics side of this and that is not
what I’m getting at. I just think that if a person is not even going to
graduate from high school they should not be getting anything paid for by the
government. That is pure laziness and i don’t think we should help people like
that who are lazy. These people will just keep having kids and not working but
get money for it. These are the parents who get to take their kids to school
and take their kids lunch and go on field trips or to whatever basically and
they don’t even have to work. The parents who do not get to do fun things like
this are the ones who graduated from high school and college and have to get up
and go to work every morning to support their family because money is not just given
to them. I do understand that college degrees are harder for everyone to get
but to not have a high school diploma is not okay. It is free schooling and
really all anyone has to do is pass. Show people how you’re trying and then
maybe money from the government will be a little bit more acceptable. My main
point from all of this is that it will never be equal because there are too
many lazy people in this world and so we need to make more rules rather than
just give out money to the people who do absolutely nothing.
Wow- I think this blog has pretty much said everything I have ever said since my freshman year of high school. Laziness is definitely unacceptable! I do NOT think that money should be a handout any longer for people who are capable of working for it. Our country needs to start buckling down and getting the nosiest it can get so it can stop wasting money on people who can support their families but choose to take the easy way out. I know that in some cases it is hard for single parents who bust their asses to provide day in and day out or for people with SERIOUS life altering health issues to go to work! I think it is okay that THEN and ONLY THEN, people should be given extra help by the government.
