text: Well, you made me use google, always willing to learn something new. Anywho, "Egalitarianism" sounds real good but as an overall 'rule of thumb' will never work in America. It's a nice thought but the facts are simple, you work hard you get ahead, you sit on your hands you don't. From time to time you will fail, that's the price of life in a country where you are allowed to 'rise to the top' or fail depending on what you are willing to put into your future. At no time should we be looking to just GIVE people everything they want or think they need. I have yet to see 'unbridled greed and ruthlessness' in America.
