My GOP "friends" do not get it. I ask them "What if everyone had a Masters Degree"??
The GOP thinks everyone with out their salary level is lazy, unmotivated, stupid. So they do not deserve what the successful people have.
The GOP never think they are "lucky". They think they earned everything. And anyone not in their class didn't work hard enough.
What a bunch of hogwash!
Lets say, everyone was equally educated. Everyone had a masters degree. Everyone could afford it. Or the government paid for it.
That would mean, SOMEONE still needs to work at McDonalds, someone still needs to dig ditches, someone would still need to work at a part time job with no benefits. These people would all have the same education. They just didn't get lucky enough to find jobs in their field. Even with their education.
What you are telling these people is that since you cannot find a good enough job, you do not deserve Health Care or Dental Care or a 401K plan. Or a minimum wage above the poverty level.
How can any caring person not sympathize with a person who did not get the breaks they did? I agree, not everyone deserves the same salary as someone who is very successful. But they deserve healthcare and a non-poverty wage. They also deserve a non-poverty living after they retire.
It seems so simple. Those of us who have it much better than the ones who do not, pay a little more. That might mean a little less vacation every year. That might mean buying a $40,000 car instead of a $50,000 car. But the payback is worth it.
How the GOP can be the "religious" party or the "moral" party is the biggest farce they have ever perpetrated.
I honestly do not know how a GOP supporter can not live in guilt.
I don't care how much you make as long as you are trying and manning up. Unlike the lazy freeloading welfare bums and disability scam artists from the DUmp.

If everybody had a master's degree then a master's degree would mean nothing. A Bachelor's Degree was significant at one point, now they are a dime a dozen and they don't indicate much about a person's intelligence, aside from certain fields. Companies expect secretaries to have Bachelor's degrees, and that was a job that my grandmother was fully prepared for when she graduated from High School.This is why jobs with requirements for Bachelor's degrees are paying minimum wage... over-educated DUmmies with government-funded educations have saturated the market and priced themselves out of a job. Union goons with inflated job demands haven't helped at all.

America has priced itself out of the world market and liberals are to blame.
Not to mention inflated GPA's.Teachers are too busy chasing tenure to grade papers. Slap a number on them and get on with your fancy paper.

The only people concerned with how much anyone makes is the DUmmies,

Who the hell needs a masters degree....
Any half decent skilled tradesman will run you close to $100 / hr and that's just mon-fri rates.
Odds are pretty good that not a huge number of the people with advanced degrees make that much.
Think society would be better if everyone had a masters degree ? Just wait until your toilet backs up while you're out appreciating some art, or critiquing some feminist literature. Who ya' gonna call ?

Irony can be a bitch.
My wife's father told her and her four brothers he could only afford to send just one to college. The one brother had a partial scholarship so got the nod and earned a degree.
The other three brothers and my wife all started their own businesses.
The irony is all four businesses were successful and the one with the degree ? He comes to visit and asks for money because he can't seem to get a job with his degree.
And guess who is/was a liberal. He became a conservative after 9/11.
