Monbiot fails to recognize that hard works only pays off in America and other places with similar economic systems. That's why people thought the streets were paved with gold.

I've known plenty of people in America who bust their asses working hard everyday, and still have nothing to show for it. What is your explanation of that?

Oh my...you are deluded. Perhaps you meant to post a picture of Obama or Biden, men who have been feeding at the public trough for their entire careers. In contrast, Mitt Romney has had a 45-year career, of which only 4 years was in elected office. That's the kind of man that the founders, including Franklin, would have endorsed. Not lifelong pols.

Well, it's hard to give such a specific answer to cases I'm not familiar with. But what do you mean by "still have nothing to show for it."?

People who work multiple jobs to try to pay their expenses and still can't make it. They end up putting things on credit cards, or fail to make payments on things, which results in loss of housing, transportation. Cost of living =/= Minimum wage, yet we won't raise minimum wages to something a person can actually live on. Why?

The real position of politicians....
