The true ludicrousness is not only expecting but forcing others at gunpoint to pay for your and your children’ living expenses, and to educate you and your children.
This is slavery by definition.

As to what the rich want - as far as I can tell, the main concern of most of them is clutching onto their money for dear life. Studies have shown that they tend to be stingier and less compassionate.
I'm fascinated by the idea of a basic income, although I have no idea if it would work. It's not something I've studied, but I suspect that what's needed is intervention at a fairly young age - different values, different work ethic, different financial priorities, different lifestyle habits. So I don't know if simply giving adults money will help. But it's interesting!
By the way, I hope you know that the poor are obese mainly because of crappy food. You make a valid point that decades ago that wasn't true - and maybe that's because decades ago the poor still cooked their own food, without being able to resort to processed food laden with sugar and fat.
Gee, you have a talent to make a completely normal thing sounds evil. This is coming from you, the representative of the poor, who pay virtually no taxes but get almost all the benefits?
How did you muster the audacity to call the rich stingy and not compassionate when they have been paying virtually all the taxes but getting almost no benefits?

Does anyone really wish to assert that Hispanic or Black students are actually that much less intelligent than White students? Or is it far more likely that our country's public K-12 education system is the largest, most wide-spread form of institutional racism there is in the U.S., thanks to Democrats?
BTW, it isn't a funding issue. Many school districts (e.g., Camden, NJ, Washington, DC, etc.) spend $20,000+ per student per year and still yield abysmal results.

AGREE!!! It's the liberals who are making income inequality and the lack of affordable housing much worse.
100% true. The widest income/wealth gaps are in blue cities and states. Incidentally, they are also the most racially segregated both in neighborhoods and public schools. Liberals are NIMBY racists.
And here's a REAL eye-opener for people who don't realize how very racist Democrats can be: an interesting fact that few know about very blue Chicago...
White Democrats in Chicago insisted that Chicago's "Equity Insurance" program be implemented.
VERY important to read the Chicago Magazine article. Much of the info is just simply jaw-dropping. For example, it was White Democrats who in the 1980s insisted the City of Chicago implement "equity insurance" in case they had to sell their homes at a loss because Blacks had moved into the neighborhood and torpedoed property values. The "equity insurance" program is still in place to this day.
The media never mentions it because the City of Chicago equity insurance program benefits White Democrat voters. They're protected from the loss of equity in their homes caused by what they've identified as "minority creep" into their lily White neighborhoods.
More background info on Chicago's "equity insurance" program:
1988, the inception of Chicago's "equity insurance" program was fairly recent, not pre-Civil Rights. And, as I said, the "equity insurance" program still exists to this day....

So why is the unconscionable and deliberate under-education of certain minority groups a nationwide problem?
It is a fact that 94% of teachers unions political donations throughout the US go to Democrats. Source: Open Secrets.
