Social Inequality


Social Inequality.  What is that?  What is Social Equality?  The always accurate Wikipedia states, “Social equality is a social state of affairs in which all people within a specific society or isolated group have the same status in certain respects. At the very least, social equality includes equal rights under the law, such as security, voting rights, freedom of speech and assembly, property rights, and equal access to social goods and services. However, it also includes concepts of economic equity, i.e. access to education, health care and other social securities. It also includes equal opportunities and obligations, and so involves the whole of society.” I don't like quoting Wiki, but hey Social Equality should be defined by pop culture...everything "Social" is pop culture anyways.

So with that so clearly defined, now ask yourself, “Do I want that?”  If you answered yes then you are either a philanthropist, or a thief.  I agree with human rights.  Freedom, the liberty to achieve the maximum of your potential and leave the world better for your kids and theirs, is the most basic right we are entitled to.  That is given by God.  Just as God gave us everything we need, it is on us to give our needs for our wants.  At one point we all had everything the same.  Some did a lot with what they had some did nothing and some further squandered it.  Just because you were a poor steward does not mean that new laws need to be put in place to make up for your or your forefathers mishandling of wealth. 

This country was founded on a dream that all man can accomplish whatever they put their minds to and no laws shall be put in place to prevent one from achieving the maximum of their potential.  Some fail, some succeed.  The importance is even if someone fails, their kids will try again and they will continue to better the world by continuing to struggle to better themselves.  Social Equality is a pipe dream that dictates the whole suffering for the lazy, and unproductive aspects of society.  Social Equality is a ransom note to keep the dregs of society appeased so as to keep crime low.  When is enough, enough? When we the productive quit giving our gifts from God away to those who have squandered their gifts.
