It is the workers that make a nation great. Not the doofus sitting there in the public eye taking all the credit. I don't mean to sound like a socialist either, but credit where credit is due. A truly noble spirit is the one that puts in a few extra hours into his work week to buy his kid a new bicycle for their birthday. Or the man that does the thankless job picking up litter off of the side of the highway. Not because he has to, but because he wants to. The littlest of men deserve the most credit. They do the most work. It is on their backs that a nation is either made or broken.

Doc this is exactly what socialism is. I know for most americans it is a bad word, mainly because they don't understand what it means.
It does not mean "kill the rich" , it just means that having more money doesn't make you a good person. A person that picks up litter is just as important as any other one, and deserves to be able to make a living out of that job. The same for somebody that works at Mcdonalds. We need people like that so we should also pay them enough to don't have to take two jobs to support their family. To make sure they are also able to send their kids to school, and also see them after work.
40 hours of work should be enough.
The american dream is a fairy tale told by the rich, in no society it is possible to all be rich. So even if everybody will kill to be succesful there will be poor people.
Socialism doesn't mean companies cannot make a profit, it just means that the people that work there are able to have a normal salary, and that their kids have the same chances in life.
