that the citizens have the opportunity to advance of fail based on their merits.

So the gov't decides who passes or fails and they decide what merits are good or not? The opportunity to advance or fail at what? At a gov't job? What?

What a moron. Can you not read a simple sentence? The government RIGHT NOW decides who passes and fails based on regulation and taxes lobbied by big corporation lobbyists. It’s called “crony capitalism” or simply socialism by those who don’t need a term of the week. To advance or fail in the marketplace based upon their ability to compete, not based upon how closely they are tied to the government. Now, I’m not going to respond to you anymore, you’re posts are too moronic to be real, you’re simply using the leftist tactic of misdirection. You don’t really care what the answer is, you want to push an agenda.
