The Gap

[skysidhe]

I guess I have alot to learn.

Being a democrat I do want the poor to find government assistance when needed but have the opportunity to learn new skills in self suficiency. To some republicans this means lowering their standard of living?

To some 'narrowing the gap' means 'anti capitalism' as in this article I'll leave a link to. I forget there is that nasty extreme right of the republican party. Oh maybe there are people who have a 'sink or swim' philosophy regarding the poor who are not extreme republicans but there I go mixing things up again.

So I went looking for references to 'narrowing' the gap in our literature on the web. I found this article. It seems SG was right after all. Some people actually do think that to narrow the gap means they will lose something personally instead of gaining something as a society which I prize more.

It's too much for my tired head to puzzle out but I'll leave you with the link to be amazed over. I'm going to bed.
nite!
