I help people everyday in this country. I employ almost 80 people. I pay for their health insurance, I pay for their days off, I pay their christmas bonuses. I pay an average of 50k per year per fulltime employee. I give people the chance to own their own business. I preach daily to teenagers on how to be successful in this country. I volunteer time to the scouts, Civil Air patrol and my Dojo. I donate to alot of charities and spend time supporting my family. That is my parents, my kids, my nieces and nephews, cousins etc. Don't preach to me about social responsibility. Tell me what the average liberal professor does to "enrich" their fellow citizens. When I hear the words "social contract" it makes me puke because to have a contract all parties must agree to it's terms. I do not sign contracts that support aborting children but do not expect the parents to be "socially responsible". I do not sign contracts that teach people that being a victim is their last best hope. I don't sign contracts that are one sided. People who use words like "social contract" should maybe be a bit more honest and say "indentured servitude" or maybe "Slavery to idealism". I am all for a social safety net. However with that check comes responsibility and a forfeiture of rights. If you get a check from the government you should not be able to have more kids, be a felon, not name the father, have section 8 housing, fail or keep dignity by annonymity. You should be required to educate yourself, be required to share off childcare with other people like you so they can educate themselves too. Be on birth control and have a curfew without second chances. For fucks sakes people until we start holding people accountible to something and have a consequence for failure that is real and eminent there is 0 reason for these people to get moving. I do say that while they are in these group homes they should be given free healthcare. Hire a lefty doctor and staff to work on site to take care fo those people. This truly is the land of opportunity and not all people will be equal but my guess is for every hard luck true "victim" example you toss up I could find 10 abusers of the system. Never forget that self esteem is built by hard work and accomplishment not words.
