>>102 Okay, I'll run this through one more time in the hope it will be news to someone, or at least piss someone off. When those from a better past gain advantages in the many steps of life, they do so at the opportunity cost of those with the same cerebral/physical/mental potential who did not stand a chance due to environmental determinism. Good is in this case a parameter that doesn't belong inside quotation marks. Wealth may not be a constant, it is continuously produced, but all of it isn't of one's own fair making. When all people start on square one (that is, your life situation when born doesn't influence your future to such an absurd degree), then Soc. Sec. can disappear.
Until then I'll gladly pay each month in order to bracket things, and vote for politicians that work for a sustainable future w/out welfare while at the same time enforcing soc. sec. everywhere.
And no, I don't believe in social justice since it is an illogical utopia. But a society without welfare but with environmental determinism is a society I have to defend my fellow humans against.
