[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me posit this: for those of you who preach “personal responsibility” and believe it’s so feasible to pull oneself up by the bootstraps, why are you saving for your kids’ college? Why are you creating a trust fund for them? Why do you live in McLean? If it’s so simple to just work hard and make it no matter where you’re from, why bother with all of that? Can’t your kid just save up money themselves like you tell poor kids to? [/quote]

The idea that it is immoral or unethical for a parent to provide a better life for their child is flat-out inhuman. It also implicitly presumes that everything one family has really belongs to the collective and has been inequitably distributed.  These are communist talking points. [/quote]

Okay but don’t pretend a kid from Anascotia has the same chances in life or even close chances to a kid from McLean. [/quote]

But surely you believe they have the opportunity to live a better life than their parents?  And that they have the opportunity to give THEIR children a better life than they had?  And somewhere down then line maybe one of their descendants will be a kid born in McLean.[/quote]
