Beat a dog his whole life and you end up with a pretty unfriendly dog. This isn't hard to understand.
If I put your soul in that young man's shoes you'd be begging me to put you back in your own. You're soft. They'd eat you alive. Your corporate skills do not translate to the street.
As for the "freebies" we have enough resources to make sure everyone has a good living and it would be way cheaper than it is now. It would be irresponsible to lift everyone to the level of the 1% as the Earth couldn't even sustain it, but we could all have what we need and then some.
Let me put this in sociopathic conservative terms for you: let's say you were bothered by seeing all these homeless people around and I said I could get rid of them for you for $0.05 a piece. I'd have to chainsaw them up and dip them in a bath of acid, but it might be worth the cost to you just to give you a better view from your balcony.
Now what if everyone paid $0.05 a piece and instead we educated them and helped them become better people? If we treated their mental health problems and gave them a place to live and made them into productive citizens. Now they might even be one of your employees, or they might invent the cure for cancer, or who knows what? You all suffer from a failure of imagination and your ideas will be left in history where they belong.
The people you denigrate are going to be here whether you like it or not; the question is, is the head so stupid that it thinks it can ignore the gangrene in the feet? Ignore it at your own peril.
Fine you win by virtue of impeccable logic and deep insight into the human condition; not to mention a finely honed knowledge of microeconomics and history.
I quit. Everything. I declare myself an old workhorse that can no longer pull the plow.
Sign me up! I want my 5 cents from everyone so I can have a fulfilling life for my remaining years.
I'm going to pass the word around to all the other workhorses I know. I will encourage them to teach their children to not be workhorses. We will all live off others people's money.
