Homeland Security to require License to get on the Internet

[BoFox]

Point being:

You can't look at Detroit or Stank Possum, Arkansas as "America falling behind".

There are places in America that are turning into the stone age, but it's more due to their citizens not trying then the country failing the citizens. Everyone gets free primary education and fed while they get it.

Anyone who wants to go to vocational or standard college can get a myriad of aid in the form of grants, loans, scholarships, housing assistance, jobs on campus, etc..

And if you don't want go to college, stats show you have at least a 50% chance to earn $35,000 a year or more. If you team up with a roommate or spouse making $35K as well, you can live a very decent life here on $70k combined.

Nowhere in the world I'd rather be Dave.

Nowhere in the world you should wish you were.

America is truly the greatest country on the planet, you just need to get out of the freaking city. City is a rich mans game.

If that is actually the point - being that you believe in the American Dream, the American spirit - with a promise of chutes and ladders that only go upward at every opportunity whenever work is put forth, like this game:

---BUT WITH ONLY THE LADDERS!!! 

So, if the American Dream is to firmly be believed in like you claim, let's see you put money in your mouth instead of paying for Rollo Jr's education.  See him work for his own college tuition.  Get scholarships by being a high school valedictorian.  Let him pay for his own car. 
What if your parents didn't support you with any of these while you wanted to get a college degree?  Would you still be RollotheGREAT??

It's not that cut and dry like the American Dream BS that you're continuing to romanticize around the world - keeping true to the traditional idealism like Christmas and Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.  For every one Oprah, there are like 10000 complete outright failures that could've been even better than Oprah, but yet got screwed by healthcare costs, family issues, etc.. etc..   (the list goes on and on and on..  - yep, the list indeed exists just like Santa's list of naughty kids - except that it's not always the kid's fault really). 

There you go - you're still like "fuck those who do not make enough $ to pay for emergency healthcare costs - it's all their fault and they should be screwed for life as they deserved."  Where's the American Dream in this???  I thought it was supposed to be all ladders...

Better for Rollo Jr to be completely self-made according to the American Guarantee, than to be spoon-fed and encouraged to be somewhat of a slacker, eh.....  unless you don't truly believe in this American Dream/Guarantee/Spirit that you otherwise profess?
