I don't call it Free Enterprise, that's what it is, I didn't design or name it. I calle dit that because that's what it is.
If the population is rising, doesn't that mean there are more jobs needed to take care of more people? More people to feed them, like farmers and fast food workers? Making clothes for them? Making cars for them? Building houses for them? Or are all those people living in a cave?
You act as though no one has free will. You mentioned how 20 years ago all the farm help in your area could only make $6.50/hr.. Well, if I had been there I would've worked two jobs and saved enough to move to where there was more work. Sounds like you chose to stay where there was little opportunity, but that was your choice, you made it.
Bottom line, life isn't fair, and it's not the government's job to make it fair. If you believe that it is, or that the they could, then you are a fool.
My grandfather had 160 acres, couldn't make enough to support the family. So what did he do? He went to town and got a job, and continued farming too. Never took a penny of government aid. Some people have pride.
Now, the world is an ever-changing place, and if you just plain flat-out refuse to change with it, you get what you deserve. Moan and bellyache all you want, it won't help any. Should've gotten more education and made yourself more valuable to those who would need your services. But no, you wanted to stay stuck in the past.
You sound just like tlak. "Give me mine, give me mine". Or, "take it from them, take it from them". Disgusting.
Be a man. Quit blaming everyone else and pull yourself up. Or go on living like you are and die bitter and unhappy, doesn't matter to me one way or the other, I'm moving on. You can stay where you are.
And just so you know, I don't necessarily like where the world has gone either. I don't think it's right that two people need to work to continue the lifestyle our parents enjoyed with just one working. I don't like big mega farms. I don't like how materialistic society has become. But just because I don't like it doesn't mean the world is going to change for me. Or you. And complaining sure won't help either.
