Do the strong exploit the weak? Is it not the duty of the powerful to protect the rights of people without power? Some believe that the biggest myth in America today is that if you work hard, obey the law, pay your taxes, etc., etc. you can achieve the American dream. Does government not have the duty to provide for the common good? Are the social programs that many rely on like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid part the m�nage e trios of exploitation regularly indulged in by the strong, the weak and the government?
The weak would not survive were it not for the enterprises that the strong create. Some call that exploitation, I call it employment. It is not technically the duty of the strong to protect the rights of the weak but it is in their best economic interest to do so. The most powerful weapon that the weak possess is the weapon of civil unrest. It is in the interest of the strong to maintain order and thus to co-exist with the weak in an economic system of mutual dependence. No one can choose where they are born, but with all of its flaws the USA still provides at atmosphere of achievement where people can transcend poverty through education, honesty, and work. I know many people who have lived the American dream and the dream is different for each individual and each family unit. Some had a head start but that is just the way it is.
Government has the duty to provide for protection and to insure that we can all pursue happiness so long as we do not violate the laws. All of the programs that are mentioned were started during the great depression and all of them are somewhat socialistic. They all rely on tax money to exist. They are also all insolvent and marginally effective. Their insolvency is a result of years of waste, abuse, and yes exploitation. Exploitation of all of citizens both strong and weak by a government that is always quick to start programs but never seems to have the will to end them or change them when they are crippled by obsolescence. The legacy of entitlement has become a very heavy albatross around the neck of the half American people who still pay taxes but a free ride for the other 50%. If this balance shifts further we may find that the strong who provide survival for the weak with leave this country in much the same way that higher earners have abandoned New Jersey, New York, and California, for the less taxing states of Texas and Florida.
We can’t all be Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, both who came from humble roots, but we have all benefitted from their efforts in creature comforts and the advancement of knowledge. We can all be better tomorrow than we are today. Sometimes that means stronger and other times it just means more prepared or well rested.
I for one wish for this country to remain strong. If the United States of America becomes a second rate power, and we seem to be doing our best right now to do exactly that, Mr. Putin or some other strong foreign leader will show us the true meaning of the word exploitation.
