Quote:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarianism According to Wikipedia, the article itself referencing Webster's dictionary, there are two standard definitions for egalitarianism: "It is defined either as a political doctrine that all people should be treated as equals and have the same political, economic, social, and civil rights or as a social philosophy advocating the removal of economic inequalities among people or the decentralization of power." The first definition sounds like common sense and in keeping with the philosophical underpinnings of our Constitution. The second sounds like redistribution of wealth bordering on socialism. That one I will vote against.

It certainly can't change at all if there's an atmosphere of callous disregard for the plight of those in need. And a segment out there is actively promoting that very atmosphere.

in my opinion, caring for the impoverished is helping them find a job and get onto their feet... not to get on government programs like food stamps, which starts for some a continuous cycle.
food stamps and government aid do not help people get jobs and care.. no matter what Obama said in the stimulus bill. granted, for those who are disabled, or looking for a job and need short time help for their family, those programs are okay. but in the current state, it is only helping the impoverished stay impoverished.

you see, a decentralization of power was what our forefathers fought for eight years to gain, against the tyranny of the king (the centralized power), and against a ruling class (which caused economic equalities). i think geo washington and the other founding fathers would be shocked that you found them socialist. of course their peers in england called them worse. imo, romney would be less inclined toward egalitarianism than obama.
