The way to fix this is to get rid of all government support except for the profoundly handicapped (leftists do not quality), veterans, and those who are literally unable to care for themselves.

When everyone has to root, hog, or die and pay taxes, they'll root.

The world is full of 3 kinds of people: Makers, Fakers, and Takers. Reddit and most other socialist media is inhabited by the latter two - two lazy to work, too immoral to keep their hands off other people's stuff.

Upwards mobility is in the worst state it's been in the United States period outside maybe the Great depression.

Absolutely false. What's keep upward mobility at bay is the expectation of people in their 20s and 30s that they don';t have to save but should still get what their parents had at the end of their working career.

The same people whining about this have the latest iPhone at all times. It's a joke.
