Even if a person is not an opportunist, does not mean we should force others to pay for their bills. It's great you got to go to College, but that should never be an entitlement on the backs of middle class families who have a hard enough time supporting their own families.

It isn't like it wouldn't be an entitlement on mine later on in my life. I will do it at least for education not or because I feel bad. I believe that uneducated, sick, hungry people have the potential to be very dangerous.

Your argument is very American ( no condescension implied. I am American living in Europe and over there people pay everything for each other. It is sometimes unfair and excessive ) You are fighting for your economic liberty. However, I believe that true economic liberty can only performed with a properly developed critical mind and ideally with good health. Because if you are sick you cannot learn properly.

There is not enough money in the world to give everyone a free life.

We aren't giving money to the world... but aren't we stronger united that divided? The way things are in Germany, Italy or France leads to smaller separation between the rich and the poor. And most of all, (this is personal experience)people are more united. Now, I understand that people from Europe go to the US because they don't want to have to take care for no one but themselves. I am not here to judge that because I understand. In a few years i can see myself do that. But I feel that our World today, after economic crises, people are pointing fingers, closing doors when they shouldn't because that solves nothing. yes, secure your own mask before helping others. But securing your own mask could simply be lowing usual standards of living...

That sense of achievement is what drives the world.

What drives the World is possession...

What Socialism does is bring everyone down to a system and mentality void of hard work ethic.

I know that is true to some extent. I woundn't say void. But the drive isn't as strong. Because I've seen it. How do you know?

I know that people call you closed minded and stupid but I thought about it I can't bring myself to think that. I could just stop but a lot of Americans think like you. I've always wanted to understand. But I think I do... The problem here isn't our conflicting ideas. It is very clear that we have different values and morals. There is no absolute better one. The problem is deeper. Understanding.

The reason I argue with you isn't to change your mind. I don't know you or what you've been through. I've been trying to make you see the world in my eyes. I used to not understand people like you until I left. Leaving was by the far the biggest challenge to everything I believe in. Leaving made my arguments always first about understanding the opponent. However, I can't force you to wear my glasses.

There are people like you that are Democrat as well. All the women voting simply for women rights is insulting to our movement. All the black people putting pressure on Obama to fight more for their cause is also infuriating. Republican yelling conspiracy. The world revolves too much around each one of them. All these people see the problem from too close and need to step back, breath and think.

Open your eyes and see the person next you. See that he has heart and desire to live a good life. Just like you. Even those opportunists. Sit and talk to them. Set judgement aside and listen. Funny things will happen.

Now, I am young. And my words will be called naive and blinded. But it is our new eyes that will be able to see the solution not necessarily the experienced.
