A more equitable society is a society in which people in precarious financial and social situations are free to work to improve their lot, without fear that lawbreakers will destroy all they have built. Enforcing the law and holding criminals accountable is a prerequisite to creating economic and social opportunity. El Salvador's recent rebirth is a perfect demonstration of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KU-Tkh4yoQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KU-Tkh4yoQ
- red1reaper 3y agoThe problem is that your theory assumes that people are always at their 100% and thus can work to improve their lot. That is simply not true,if you hold that view, you are honestly just wrong and I can't do anything about it.
- Georgelemental 3y agoIt's not just a theory, it's an empirical observation—as El Salvador demonstrates.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoCan you explain what you mean by: > your theory assumes that people are always at their 100% and thus can work to improve their lot It's not obvious to me at all that a person needs to be at "100%" to improve their lot (and avoid criminality). I would never get out of bed if that was the case.
