His point is CONSERVATIVE .....mobility into the middle and upper class is as conservative as you can get ....
Ever hear of lifting yourself by the bootstraps?
Or would you prefer that Obamas version of the world prevail ? ...which is that we have a permanent dependent class ?
The raw stupidity that goes with Bush hatred is mind boggling
NO, only a small part of what he said is conservative....the rest is the compassionate conservatism BS....which has always been partially correct, but dangeous nonetheless.
You fell for it.
If he just talking about bootstraps why does the Federal Government have to DEAL with it?
No fan of the Bush family here, but you are absolutely correct. Jeb Bush has put his finger on what ails this country: People no longer believe that hard work will be rewarded, that the days of an opportunity society have passed. And they are scared to death for their children and what the future holds for them.
Disillusioned and frightened people are naturally gong to be receptive to the idea of government playing a larger role in their lives. Why do you think the Democrats have prospered during this period of stagnation? Economic growth and upward mobility are the death knell of big government.
