social justice" bullsh*t whereas the successful have to hand over their income by mandate and give it to those who have failed (or don't bother trying)...and they blindly base it on some non-existent "fairness"...This is why you see no motivation in places like these, and their economies even in the best of times, rarely get above 3% GDP (
Bush was getting attacked even when the GDP was at a low of 3.3%...Obama hasn't even sniffed that yet)...
Sadly, the US is veering speedily toward the "social justice" path instead of veering away from it and creating the economic conditions for competition and motivation...
