HOLD ON...Some Questions for all....
by imran patel on Apr 10, 2008 11:27 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

What is the role of the government ?

Is it the governments responsibility to
- Provide Free Education ?
- Provide Free Medical care ?
- Give Oil Subsidy ?
- Give Gas Subsidy ?
- Give Sugar Subsidy ?
- Give Rice Subsidy ?
- Give Wheat Subsidy ?
- Give Kerosene Subsidy ?
- Give Hajj Subsidiy ?
- Run & Manage Temples ?

If your answer is a "YES", China is the place for you.

We are not living in a COMMUNIST state where we think that government should force "Social Justice". And Reservation is NOT social justice. It is an injustice to others.

The should be NO reservation. Not based on either Caste, financial status, family size, $ex, Culture, Region, etc.

Admission and employment must be stictly merit based.

No reservation.

A person earns money based on his ability and hard work. Why must he/she be penalized for being smart and hard working ?

USA also give subsidy

- Subsidy to farmer for tax insentive
- Social security benefit for unemployed
- $ 600 check as stimulus package
- Gasoline subsidy if you include cost of securing energy line from Gulf of Homuz to States. Major portion of US military budjet is used for securing these lines.
- Free health care after next election Clinton/ obama ready. McCain will do if Mitt Romeny runs for vice president
- Pay Defaulted Mortagage of its defaulter
- Lots of subsidy for higher education like low interest loans, Hope credit for tax refunds

Many more. Now you will say US is COMMUNIST too. Every country do these thing for its people.

USA is NOT perfect.

And if the US moves toward a Cradle-Grave Nany state, then it will cease to exist as an economic super power.

Have you forgotten the Soviet Union or the USSR. What happened ?
Where is the FREE Medical Care and Where is the FREE Education ?

Socialism is a failed economic Model.

Capitalism/free Markets combined with INDIVIDUAL Charity is the path towards a properous society.
