The taking of my money to give to others is communist. From those that have to those that have need.
So in this analogy what it's like is if you hand your son a fifth of jack daniels and tell him drinking this everyday from the ages of 18-21 is the key to the American Dream, and not only you saying telling him that but the news, the television he watches, his pastor, and every teacher he has ever had. And good news the government is actually going to lend him money when he turns 18 so he can access the jack daniels.
So when your son turns 18 he listens to you, and his teachers, etc. At 18, He borrows money from his government and starts getting hammered, and he keeps getting hammered every day, and the price of the whiskey goes up every year.
When he finally turns 22 he quits getting hammered but as he goes around to look for the American Dream all his has is a crippling addiction to alcohol and debt. He finds a job that he could have found without getting hammered for the last 4 years, it does not pay much, he can barely pay his rent, homeownership and the American Dream is further away after doing exactly what everyone told him to do than it was before he started.
Only now the government starts calling on his note, what little money he kept from his paycheck to save is now being spent paying back all the worthless alcohol everyone encouraged him to buy over the last 4 years. He is now a slave to debt for the next 25 years at best.
I think the 22 year old alcoholic has very little personal responsibility for the above scenario. But to a certain extent personal responsibility does not matter. We as a country cannot have an entire generation of young people who are barred from accessing the American Dream, without dire consequences.
I'm a right wing nationalist, I hold very little in common with how conservatism is colloquially understood in 2025 America.
My loan repayments are going fine. Undergrad is paid for and almost through with graduate school. I am one of the lucky ones.
Could not agree more. However, the purpose of the government is ensure the prosperity for Nation. Ensuring the current generations have an equal standard of living to the older is one of its purposes. It has sabotaged this and needs to fix it.
Government for the benefit of its citizens is communist?
Posting the Slyvester cat gif above is perfect. Talking to you is exactly like that.
I see your still paying so looking for a handout I suppose is one way to explain how one could be so wrong on this topic.
The government is for infrastructure and defense primarily, seems you are looking for more. Maybe try Canada, I here you can get free health care from the government.
Next you are going to tell us the govt. should use our tax dollars to pay for baby murder because women sometimes want an abortion and can't afford to pay. SMH.
Why are people barred from accessing the American dream? Many people accessed the American dream after going broke first. Paying back a loan that they decided to take out is not stopping anyone from accessing the American dream.
I guess you believe everything the govt tells you. Did you take the jab? All people can decide for themselves how they want to navigate life. All it takes is a little look around to see that gender studies won't take you far toward the American dream. I at first thought about becoming a teacher and being a coach, but decided by myself after looking at the pay, to major in Accounting instead. All I see from you is you wanting the gov to take from others to pay for personal choices that may not have been good.
