Progressives are not interested in the consequences of their actions, they don’t reflect on results, all that matters is intentions. The “War on Poverty” has made poverty worse, and nearly inevitable, but they meant well. The VA provides “free health care” to veterans, just as long as they don’t have serious health issues, then they die waiting. They are spending more than ever before on education because they care, but fewer children are learning the basic life skills necessary for success.
Everyone is special, above average, a perfect little prodigy just as capable of anything as everyone else is. Only we’re not. People are individuals with different skills and abilities and, most importantly, incentive or motivation. You could be the sharpest person in the world, but if your plan for life involves waiting tables until someone comes along, recognizes that fact and offers to pay you a lot of money to simply be gifted, you’re going to be an old waiter or waitress.
Life is as much what you do as it is what happens to you. To think otherwise, to be taught otherwise, is a disfavor to humankind. Then again, progressives are disinterested in consequences when their intentions are what really matters.
