Question

Why do 'common' people have to fight for the ideals of a separate class?

Answer 1

Someone has to, that's why. The "common" majority have ideals often based upon a value system that includes a sense of duty and integrity. They fight for those "ideals" for idealistic reasons, believing that they, too, will eventually profit--either intrinsically or in some more tangible way. In our country, we have long held the belief that anyone can become a Leader; it is only after encountering the realities of our social and governmental power system that the idealistic become jaded and personal profit overshadows personal responsiblilty and integrity.

Answer 2

That's a very good question. Why should the poor and middle class young people be fighting a war for the rich? It does not make sense--it's as though, once again, the poorer classes are "servants" to the upper class.

Answer 3

they donot have to fight they just choose to because they are ignorent people .

Answer 4

there are always going to be people who think they are better than others for some reason, be it birth, or monitary . get used to it, it isn't going away, as long as people allow others to be treated differently.

Answer 5

I don't know who stated it but that about sums it up! Who said that?. . I would add leaders, the rich and corporations, who get all the say immediately after they are elected. You think they represent anyone else?. . Corporations pay little, if any tax, but they sure give to campaigns. Isn't that a bribe, sort-of? I mean, they do expect something in return!

Answer 6

they don't. we all have the right to just say no

Answer 7

You ask a good question. I guess it's the macho thing. I'd like to see the leaders fight each other in the boxing ring or through a chess game; etc. and leave the innocent people alone.
