No. It is the truth. Nothing about political parties.

While I place importance with structure in my life, I continually learn how to do things a little better than I did before. I seek to improve my thinking and not limit myself.

Look at other countries. Then tell me we have it bad.

I agree. I, as a white male, have had it great in America. But, I guess that's for a different topic.

That's exactly what the alt right wants you to believe, and of course, you receive 83% upvotes from this page...further proving my points.

Next question. Name another county where the "poor" are generally overweight and have free health and, get this, can actually improve their standard of living if they apply themselves. Look at poor in other countries and tell me they have it better. Go,ahead and lie.

Can you tell me some alt-right thinkers who espouse this mindset?

I'm curious to know what you stand for..?? You can't be so antiprogressive and not be the polar opposite (in my mind).
How much of your money do you give others outside of your lawful portion?

Waiting on an answer. Would you rather b poor here or in Cuba?

My point is to make the distinction that there are a large majority of left winged people of great wealth that have no issue with handing over greater percentages of their wealth in income tax.
And they generally decide to give money to charitable causes instead of the government.(they're free to do either). What does that say about how they feel the most efficient use of their "generosity" is?

you mean they aren't thieves? it's THEIR money... so those in the quote here are simply moral, and hope to be among those with money one day.

I was responding to his generalizations.
To think that (all) people on the left are looking for handouts is elementary.
Likewise, to think that the Republican party is purely one of progress is equally small minded. Progress is much bigger than widening pocket books. It has to be. It's the Status quo (Bush) or bring us back/slow us down (Trump).
Donald Trump knows how to make money, but he could care less about the actual progress and sustainability of our country.

That's an assumption. Many do but that's not something we see.

Progress isn't always in the right direction. If Trump can slow down some of the "progress" that the left considers righteous. I'm all for it.

That's our American dream!
But, you misunderstand what a capitalist does to make and keep money. It's mostly ugly, and I think it's mostly the opposite of what you think it is.

It's no more of an assumption that anything you have posted. There is ample evidence that some of the richest among us have chosen private giving over government spending.

Now I'm expecting you to tell me that the capitalist is a parasitic entity that extracts the surplus value of labor (which, OBVIOUSLY, has intrinsic value) in order to perpetuate the prevailing superstructure.

Progressive nature is always moving right.
Does it need regulation? Absolutely
