When people talk about how totalitarian we are, I always go back to the stereotypical Asian immigrant family who comes here with nothing, and in one generation, their kids are doctors. That happens all the time, when you are dealing with people who will never stop working for what they want.
A society that allows that kind of upward economic mobility, is free. It cannot be called otherwise. But it would be better not to have powerful people making decisions in their own best interests, rather than the collective best interest. |

Those Good Asians, statistically all second generation immigrants do better than native born, not just Asians.
The powerful people currently own the corporations and control the Congress and our government. All you had to do to see that is watch the Senate hearings with Big Pharma. |

 That's what used to be called "camp" or "campy." It's so ridiculous that it's actually funny. |

You didn't respond to the video. You posted something about Muslims. The video was not about Muslims. The video presented facts. If you believe that facts and truth are to be feared, then quit posting what you think are facts and truth unless you're trying to scare us. |

why do second generation immigrants do better than native born?
culture.
they don’t feel entitled to anything, they are happpy to work for it. it’s nothing that only immigrants can do. anyone can copy that approach.
and who ever said capitalism was perfect? again responding to something that has never been said, ever.
