[Superman]

Moses, you're a smart guy and so is Steve. I don't think you two disagree. In this instance I notice you are talking about two different things.

You notice that in America, folks basic needs are take care of. That's enough. No need to make lazy folks rich. Steve seems to also be okay with basic assistance but not more.

I think Steve is sort of thinking out loud and he's having a hard time generating the discussion he wants to have. Regardless of whether we take care of folks' basic needs, or nothing, or provide them luxury apartments with a view of the city, he notices that we are programmed by heredity and environment so fully that some folks are simply not going to be achievers in the American sense. Steve wonders why we don't all have your attitude. He wonders why we make judgements upon those lazy SOB's.

I suspect it makes us feel superior.
