Bill: Equality and the Corruption of Humanity, January 2486
Details
Submitted by[?]: Computational Intellect Project
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2486
Description[?]:
| (1) Humanity by its own nature is not evil, but is corrupted by the society in which it is raised. Were we to raise all children in state institutions, this problem would alleviate because these concepts of corruption, waste, and prejudice would not hereditarily pass down from their parents as they do now. (2) When children are raised by parents, this is an inherently unequal system, as some parents are rich, and some are poor; giving some children a better advantage when they start life on their own. We are all for a free market and a socially mobile society, but this is not possible unless childhoods become standardized. We promise that if children are raised by us, these children will have better childhoods than even some of the best childhoods now. Every child would receive an equal educational and occupational opportunity; social classes would divide off and become stratified after the children make decisions with regard to their education and their occupations, all based upon the personality qualities of the child. Some people, by their birth, are designed for success more than others. However, this system of Social Darwinism is currently not perfected as opportunities are not equal. There are a lot of very rich people that don't deserve their wealth, but merely inherited it, and a lot of homeless people that once had the talents and the abilities to become some of the most successful people in Barmenistan, but they simply were never given the opportunities or chances required to achieve such amazing feats we see in everyday people. If this were to pass, and this system came into effect, parents would of course be allowed to visit their children and vice versa not unlike boarding schools and college, yet the opportunities of each and every child would be equal; then those with true talent and aptitudes would succeed, regardless of who their parents are, and those without talent, aptitude, or will power, regardless of how lucky their parents might be, would be doomed to the lowest classes of society, where they rightfully belong. As always, please leave as much constructive criticism or logical disagreeing argument as possible. |

| Message | It will be included in the educational budget. If you haven't noticed, it is pretty immense at an average of 25,000 BAR per student per year each school (that's likely to be more than 100,000 USD in real life). |

| Message | "we believe they have caught on to the RSP and its view on the world" We did not "catch on" to your views. The views that we have now have been the same since our founding; long before your party's existence. |
