I’ve been thinking about this lately:
- We demand to pay as little as possible for a tv, yet we are outraged when companies send manufacturing jobs overseas.
- We want cheap oil yet we claim we want to protect our environment.
- We call for affordable health care but we expect it to be provided at world-class quality.
- We want our kids to compete (scholarly) with leading countries, like Japan, but we are more worried about making sure the same average eductation is offered equally to all instead of focusing on those who want to succeed.
- We refuse to pay higher taxes yet we expect the government to keep providing free education, infrastructure, libraries, etc.
When you constantly cater to both extremes like this you end up comprimising somewhere near the middle. You end up with a far inferior end result. You’re not really good at anything and you kind of tend to just exist. This is quickly becoming the way things are here in America.
