This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. You are free to take the opportunity but you must be brave enough to fail.

Strange how land of the free has the highest incarceration rate in the world

Free to pursue happiness but not at the expense of others dreams and happiness.

So an American are 5 times more likely to commit a crime than non American?

-
Some committing those crimes are not American ... We are a land of laws! Those incarcerated are lucky compared to other countries. For example: We don’t chop your hand off for stealing. Maybe we should and let him go walk around so others may see the crime committed.

-
Not too many countries actually chop hands and heads off. Our incarceration rate is 5 times higher than the rest of the world in aggregate. I also don't think that 4 out of 5 inmates are non Americans
-
Perhaps the rational as to why .... is because WE do not chop body parts off. Moreover, the problem is deeper, we shld focus on the community, because the roots of crime and incarceration are too often planted in underfunded schools&neighborhoods.

It all starts with the family. The community is a place where you interact & find opportunity to achieve success. You can’t make ppl change. They must learn it. It all starts with the base, the foundation, the patents.

Rapepublicans don't even let ya vote... some opportunity.

Actually, the Dems didn’t allow all Americans to vote. Repubs liberated the enslaved & paved the way to true freedom. If one loses their right to vote, it’s their own fault.
-
Ok? "The Dems enslaved you, but the repubs freed you". It only took them 200+ years to do it. You said that like it was something to be proud of. A vote kinda matters less when the GOP have drown out the black vote with white one by gerrymandering the map.
-
Where I live it was the dems that did the gerrymandering!

And still do

I am a White Male who started working in construction right after high school. $5 per hour. I am now a business owner and know that my career wasn't possible without lots of hard work. I could blame my Appalachia heritage for not being a millionaire but that's not how it works.

My family is also from Appalachia Brother and you are So Right.

We need to emphasize what America offers, which is freedom and equal opportunity. The Democrats are not satisfied with that. They want equal outcomes. This is not possible without infringing on the Liberty of others.
-
The Dems are full of crap, they don't want equal outcomes. They just want power and all the money with their greed while the rest of us little worker bees are providing it for them. They turn it socialist and they continue to have all the power while the worker bees provide it.
