"become contributing members of society"
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
We have too many takers, and not enough makers.
I guess sitting on the couch. Watching reality TV, and posting lives away on facebook, and getting that monthly stipend from that benevolent government is 'the way to be'.

The curriculum plays down the role of Thomas Jefferson among the founding fathers, questions the separation of church and state, and claims that the U.S. government was infiltrated by Communists during the Cold War.

The same kosh brothers who buy americain cheap, then sell for profit, Sending jobs overseas and closing shop in the good old USA. Thats awsome, well maybe for china.
Real american patriots.
It is revealing to compare Charles and David Koch with the owners and managers of the New York Times Company. The Koch brothers employ a growing, highly-paid work force of 60,000 in the United States, around one-third of whom are unionized. Koch Industries enjoys excellent relationships with its unions. The New York Times Company, on the other hand, employs a shrinking, largely ill-paid work force, and is embroiled in a long-running feud with its unions.
Koch Industries Responds to New York Times Smears
Koch’s Georgia Pacific unit “has positive collective bargaining relationships with its unions,” Jon Geenen, international vice president of the United Steelworkers union, wrote in a blog post on the group’s website.
“The company’s workforce is highly unionized,” Geenen wrote. “It is not inaccurate to say these are among the best- paid manufacturing jobs in America.”
Koch Industries Wins Labor Praise for Collective Bargaining Role
The Americans for Prosperity group, a Tea Party group that is a Koch Brothers front, has put up a website and petition called www.standwithwalker.com. The website attacks all collective bargaining – not just for public employees’ unions.

Wow. Listen to you spouting FASCIST propaganda slogans. Big fan of the Koch Method? What's with your worship of the wealthy?
Better than worshiping at the alter of statolatry like all progressives do.
People need to get over it.
Some people will always have more than others.
In the past 10,000 years of mankind that has NEVER changed.
Btw the way rob from the haves, and give to the have nots is FASCIST !
You probably don’t know me, but like you I am one of those .01%ers, a proud and unapologetic capitalist. I have founded, co-founded and funded more than 30 companies across a range of industries—from itsy-bitsy ones like the night club I started in my 20s to giant ones like Amazon.com, for which I was the first nonfamily investor. Then I founded aQuantive, an Internet advertising company that was sold to Microsoft in 2007 for $6.4 billion. In cash. My friends and I own a bank. I tell you all this to demonstrate that in many ways I’m no different from you. Like you, I have a broad perspective on business and capitalism. And also like you, I have been rewarded obscenely for my success, with a life that the other 99.99 percent of Americans can’t even imagine. Multiple homes, my own plane, etc., etc. You know what I’m talking about.
If we don’t do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us. No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality. In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth accumulated like this and the pitchforks didn’t eventually come out. You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It’s not if, it’s when.
Are you writing the curriculum for the Koch brothers?
Are you insane? 1
