Remember everybody, the only equality in life that man deserves is equality of opportunity. Don't confuse equality of opportunity with equality of results.

@MrStarstruck404 Thinking there is a meaning to life doesn't show a high level of education.

@MrStarstruck404 "Isn't it true ... failing school in the first place?"
No, unless you call Bangladesh a success.
"And although teaching someone to make money... did they LEARN?
They learned how to get out of poverty, something a few BILLION PEOPLE on this planet would love to do.
"...I'm assuming..."
Yeah, you assume a lot. Thinking, reasoning? Not so good. Assuming? Grade A.

As, the father of modern day capitalism, Adam Smith said," It's not the apex, the top that makes capitalism work. But, it's base."

Isn't it true though that if these kids had been born into a democratic socialist country they wouldn't have been in a failing school in the first place? And although teaching someone to make money is helpful if they are trying to get out of poverty what exactly did they LEARN? If I go up to the guy with 5 hot dog stands and ask him what he feels is the meaning of life I'm assuming he'll say to make more money because that's what he was taught.

No politician wants children to think for themselves and to be innovative, that's why republicans and democrats don't change the school systems.

This makes me want to get the Fox Business channel even more. I'm confused about why we never vote intelligent people into office; it's always gotta be a "Republican" or a "Democrat". I use quotes because the parties that use the names barely resemble what they came from.
