so if a society didnt want to help people at all and were racists, sexists, jerkoffs, conservatives yada yada then the government should just be like okey dokey lets make our policies totally centered around that! the government DOES have an obligation to protect, serve, and help people. that usually doesnt fall right in line with letting 1% of the population make as much money as they want. the government has the obligation to support its citizens AND if there are people in society who are against they, they are the ones that have the problem and need to be changed. imho

this is in regards to hartmanns statement about the basic idea of government

Racism, sexism, whatever have no place in a capitalist society.

You're rewarded for how you do for yourself. This is completley independent of race or sex.

If a black guy out works me and figures out how to make more money than I do, then more power to him.

By and large, the harder you work the better you do.

I fail to see why my hard-earned dollars should go to reward mediocrity amongst those who are simply put, too fat, stupid, and lazy to better themselves.
