Ask A Liberal

Where I grew up was mostly republican. A lot of my friend's had family businesses, or were hooked up after college by family connections. They all have this viewpoint of screw whoever hasn't earned their way. As if being born into great circumstances is earning their way (even if they did have to learn a skill to get the job). A lot of them are religious as well.

I eventually was also helped out by family for business. But even still, I consider myself very lucky and don't think "I got mine" so screw everyone else now. I couldn't really live with myself with that worldview especially if I was lucky enough to have family help me out in life. And really, like Jesus would be about helping out the rich with taxes and screw the poor? It's nonsense on a whole nother level.
