You always do it don't you? Just...You bastard.<br /><br />You always do it don't you?

Whining about "inequality...An excellent post. <br />Whining about "inequality" is complete bollocks. <br />There WILL ALWAYS be a group of people who just "cannot be a**ed" to work. There will always be winners, and always be losers. <br />That is the real world. Lefties can suck it up. <br /><br />As others have said before - you cannot "legislate-away" poverty. <br /><br />There is no mystery as to how to get ahead. <br />Education and hard work. Some people will also have entrepreneurial ability. That will get them even further ahead, and good luck to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-52975646685506307772011-12-07T12:42:59.328+13:002011-12-07T12:42:59.328+13:00You hit it right on the button with the word "...You hit it right on the button with the word "mobility". The more economically free a society is, the higher its income mobility (i.e. the more likely poor people will not stay poor all their lives). The more controlled an economy is, the lower its income mobility. There is strong economic and social research that backs this up although, as with climate research that doesn't support the mainstream political position, you won't see mention of it in the media.Kiwiwithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507667837257013301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-36991808645327891542011-12-07T12:42:57.687+13:002011-12-07T12:42:57.687+13:00No, even though the system encourages that most pe...No, even though the system encourages that most people aren't bludgers--most people are still producers.<br /><br />And in truth, in a free society, it wouldn't cost anywhere near so much to eat.Peter Cresswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-86147060012793595802011-12-07T12:29:44.974+13:002011-12-07T12:29:44.974+13:00The whole notion of "Equality" comes str...The whole notion of "Equality" comes straight out of the Paris commune and the French Revolution.<br /><br />It's communist.<br /><br />The biggest lie is <i>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal</i><br /><br />Most people - especially in NZ - are bludgers.<br /><br />in a free society, they wouldn't be able to eat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
