No you can't because a capitalistic society can't exist or run without a lower class.

You completely avoided what I wrote. Many people people on welfare work so they are not all lazy which has nothing to do what you wrote. What is wrong with working at Walmart at least they are working and not living off the government.

I'll give them that yes they do work but common sense says you are not going to live the good life working there. They stay there and expect "others" to give them what "they need" instead of "doing" what they need to improve their own marketable skills.

Imagine starting out at Walmart, working there 20+ years. Don't you want better?

This is not the world today. Of course people want better but they can't get it. There are hundreds of people applying for the same job every single day. It's not that they don't have marketing skills, it's that there are not enough jobs

That's what happens when there is an anti-business administration. Yet wasn't Obama bragging about the the economy and employment? He thinks he is doing a good job.

Do you want to know something interesting i have just discovered? Got to thank petch, i notice a big difference in thinking, people like petch really believe the end result is more important then the means of getting there, where liberal thinkers the way we get there is more important then the end result. Big difference.

No you brainwashed fool lol, its because we let big business dictate the market and know they have all of us hostage. Give us corporate welfare, tons of tax breaks and incentives of i will leave the country despite the fact that the reagon administration creatted the trikle down economic model in there favor. The problem is they haven't trickled down. And you acknowledged that by saying walmart employees they should build more skills etc to be paid more.
