Here is what we do for our people: first, we try real hard through schooling to enable each and every child to enter life capable of earning a living. Also, we have safety net programs such as unemployment insurance and disability to help those who find temporarily or even permanently unable to provide for themselves. To be sure, these programs aren’t perfect. Nothing is.
So, if some relatives of yours were slaves, or poor for any reason, or if you genetically-inherited stupidity or ugliness or some kind of personality disorder, or if you were bullied in school, or never got your lucky break, or short-changed yourself by not taking the advantages you were given, then get over it. The economy is going gangbusters. There’s a job for everybody out there. Today, get yourself on the ladder of success. Oh, and get the hell out of Chicago and other Democrat-infested places before we start building walls around them.
