[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 38361"] Well, first, kill all the lawyers. Alot of problems in society have been caused by the liberal courts. Light sentences for crimes committed and a push for privileges that have now become firmly entrenched rights for the lower class have brought us into this mess. Mandatory workfare for those collecting welfare. 4 days per week at jobs that nobody else wants to do like mowing lawns, picking up garbage, improving roads (with a shovel and a wheelbarrow). Government could pay transport costs to and from the sight for the workfare employees. More help for the working poor. No extra child allowance for children had while on government assistance teamed with expansion of state orphanages set up with proper education for the children in the orphanage and stronger powers for child and family services to remove children who made be at risk in their home environment. Careful screening of immigrants tht come into the country. Make sure they have values that fit well with the North American culture. Of course, it is unlikely that any government would implement these measures because it would be unpopular with all the socialists. One of the things that keeps me motivated is called 'the ball hypothesis'. The easiest way for me to explain it is that there is a ball that represents your economic standing that gets larger as each year passes. So for a visual analogy, imagine that when you come out of high school that the ball is 2 feet in diameter. Some people are born firmly entrenched on top of the ball and some people are born firmly entrenched underneath. But you can see that if you work hard, it doesn't take alot of effort to get on top of the ball at that point. By the time a person is forty, the ball may be 5' in diameter and so you can see climbing on top of the ball is substantially harder at that point. If you are not on top of the ball by the time you are fifty, it becomes impossible because you are trying to climb from the underside. Bankruptcy or a nasty divorce can throw you off the ball but hopefully it happens when you are young rather than old. With taht said you can see how important it is to push these young people work hard to get on top of the ball early.
