Agreed, but the more heinous thing that these people do is to ignore simple facts. The fact is, not everyone can be (nor would we want them to be!) nurses and biotech workers. Fifty percent of OUR OWN CITIZENS are below the median in IQ level. Other folks are limited by physical disabilities.
Other generations, who were not so completely fixated on personal greed, recognized this fact. They hired the mildly mentally handicapped man down the street to work on their lawn and do their odd jobs. They knew that if they hired their neighbors to work at their factory, it would help the entire town...and thus themselves. The idea back then was that everyone who was willing to work very hard, and put in the years of service, would benefit by having a modest, comfortable, middle-class lifestyle. Notice, this was NOT coerced by the Government, but was simply assumed, as people had decent moral values.
Ultimately, they knew that the jobs were a benefit to our Country, as well...having seen the importance of self-reliance during WWII.
Contrast this to the current crop of self-centered jerks, who are selling out their OWN CHILDREN'S future by providing our enemies with technology to fight against us. We also rely on some of these enemies for basic self-defense necessities like steel, due to our leaders' stunning lack of the ability to see past their stock portfolios.
A shocking decline in moral and socioeconomic values in one generation, is it not?
Oh, and "Havoc," you are a true conservative. The Democrats have become Socialists, the Republicans have become Democrats, and Conservatives are left to ???
