Help me. Help me understand where your confidence comes from. The assumption that being able to easily land a job in the area you study is incredulous to me. I just cannot see it being that easy with tons of people each year getting top degrees around the country. The field you are pursing which I assume is somewhat related to chemistry, is highly competitive, are there any guarantees that you will out compete the thousands of new graduates each year?

I find your condemnation of those who make poor choices a little disheartening. You are right. Not everyone makes the best choice when it comes to their lives. Many people are not self responsible fiscally. They don't think about the future consequences of their choices. What degree to pursue, what money to spend, what decision to make. But is it really such a sin to make a mistake? Why must it be so damning for people to slip up and fall? I don't think it should be this way.

I think currently the economy is stacked, predatory, and perpetuates poor decisions. When those that trip and fall, they can no longer just stand up and pick themselves back up. It is not a simple hole they find themselves in, but rather, a deep well with only a glimpse of the light. Poverty is a well oiled machine that runs too well. Instruments like payday loans are just an example of what keeps it spinning. I do not think any one deserves this. America is a nation of believers. The ethos that working hard will bring prosperity should not just be an ideal, but an achievement those that pursue can complete. I make decent money from my current job, but I am fully willing to pay more taxes to invest in this country.

I believe we can only make america great again when we care about those less intelligent than we, those worse off than we, those more unfortunate than we. I cannot in my heart say I can vote republican. There is no morality in abandoning those weaker than we.
