Too-often (it seems like), "conservatives" have viewed that as an "entitlement"-concept....where everyone might participate .....rather-than the long-term-inve$tment, in this Country, it would actually be.

After all....where're the short-term-profits??!!! (....if the government participates; much like present-day health-care.)

Quit-often, such scenerios remind me of the origins of The Drug War...in the late-'60s/early-'70s.

Back then.....it was no-big-deal if drug-use flourished in the inner-cities....pretty-much a replication of that good ol' '50s-style Keep 'Em Barefoot & Pregnant concept. BUT, when White college-kids started participating...and, "mixing" with those-people....drug-use (particularly Pot-smokin') was all-of-a-sudden a Plague-on-society!!!!!

Another analogy would be the (real) Roots of Racism: exclusion!!! (i.e. The less they get, the more I get.)

How're the right-kids gonna help maintain our present-form-of-Capitalism, if they're (also) expected to compete with those-people??!!!
