As to your comment above, this Liberal/Democrat agrees with you 80%. My only problem is that some people aren't very good at "gaining the skills" or "educating oneself." I don't believe that if your highest job in life if the fry cook at McDonalds you should be relegated to minimum wage for life, but McDonalds probably does.
I wish you could have presented these arguments on page 17, until now. It's a pretty good one.

I view it like this... The world is not a level playing field. There will always be someone on the bottom rungs of the socio-economic ladder. Some people are fat, some are smarter, some are in better health than others, different racial backgrounds, etc. My point is this... these are all obstacles we must deal with on an individual basis and overcome on our own terms. Its the desire to these individual hurdles that define us from one another. No amount of Affirmative Action (racial profiling
) or upping of the minimum wage will change the basic character of an individual.
