Since the thread started with a blanket statement, I figured I'd continue.
I think struggle is what makes a person, and the Democrats agreed a few times in their convention. I think eliminating people's struggle eliminates a part of their humanity. People should work through issues and be stronger for it. I've seen a few of my friends go through entire periods of their life where they were getting unemployment (during the 99 week period) and had a partner or outside help to meet their minimum needs, they did absolutely nothing, they fell into drinking, they worked their way into depression. These are smart, educated people.
I can imagine that happening outside of my anecdotal evidence that it happens, it makes a lot of sense. If your minimum needs are met and it's too difficult to improve, why expend the effort?
Opportunity is given to those who find it. Those who improve themselves, those that achieve in whatever they do. It's rolling the boulder up the hill. Eliminating their struggle makes it a lot harder to start rolling the boulder when the time comes.
The true boulder for middle class/normal people is their relationship with debt, that's hopefully the next awakening to happen.
