What about the people who don't deserve to be where they are….whether top or bottom? What about the children? Not to sound cliché, lol. Some people just need assistance.
I believe we all deserve the right to live. In order to live one must have food, shelter, and medical care. To a degree, I believe we all have the right to education since education is often "the ticket out".
When it comes to employment, good work ethic and competence does not promise one a job. Eventhough it's 2004 we still have all of these -isms around. Discrimination still exists.
As for what's wrong w/ the Democratic Party, I guess it's the exact opposite. I think some take the issue of equality waaaaaaay too far. I do believe that some really don't deserve to be helped or is far beyond help. We need a happy medium, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd rather see a few get by without deserving it than the other way around.
