[Two Americas]

All those who are fighting for justice and equality should move to Iran and see how they like it there. Hey, America may have its faults, but it is still the greatest country anywhere. Sure, capitalism is not perfect, but just look at the progress and prosperity it has produced.

Anyone can get rich in America, and those whiners who complain all the time are just a bunch of lazy losers. If people don't want to be rich, if they don't want to get out there and climb to the top of the heap, if they do not want to make their lives revolve around amassing material wealth, well then they have no one to blame but themselves.

Who cares how people become winners, who cares what damage is done in the process, who cares about those who are left out and left behind? Compete or die, strive or lose, eat or be eaten. That is just the reality, no matter how much people want to deny that. Everyone wants to be rich, rich, rich and those who are not just like to make up excuses and blame others for their own failures and shortcomings.

America was founded on the idea that all restrictions should be removed from the most aggressive, the most exploitative, the most self-centered and the biggest bullies and the most domineering and clever people among us. That is freedom baby! The losers need to get with the program and stop whining. Survival of the fittest! This is a law of nature. This what made America great!

People need to get off their butts and get to work. Teachers, for example - hey get out there and sell your services on that "free market" and stop complaining that you are being paid enough! And that goes for a whole bunch of losers - nurses, EMS workers, researchers and scientists, farmers. It is not the fault of "society" if people do not "choose" to pay you what you think you should have. The market has put a price on whatever it is you think you have to offer, and that is just the way it is. Just get another job or start a business if you aren't happy. Why should the rest if us winners subsidize you? Who needs farmers, teachers, nurses and the rest of these parasites anyway? Just because you want to keep making buggy whips is no reason why the rest of us should have to pay to support your fantasy. Adapt or die! People won't pay for your services because they don't care about health, food or education anymore - they are obsolete. We have moved on from all of that old-fashioned stuff now. Guess what? You lose, but you are free to move on. No one is stopping you. Free enterprise can provide all of those services, and do a better job of it.
