Standardized Testing

There's nothing moral about channeling your developmental hurdles from early life into getting even and punishing those 'undeserved'.

What's moral is learning from my own history and using that insight to fight for policy changes that will make things better and fairer for the next generation. Most of the policy changes I call for won't help me, personally. In fact, many of them will hurt me, because they're built around economic justice, and would result in higher taxes and fewer economic privileges for the wealthy. But, they're still the right thing to do, morally, so I set aside consideration of my personal advantage, for the greater good.

Seems transparently borne of historic grudge and relative entitlement, rather than objective assessment of fair play, but whatever. It's your life.

It's all of our lives, which is why I feel morally compelled to push for policies that improve the system. If it was just my life, it would be easier to ignore politics, and let the Republicans bring about benefits for the lower-upper-class, like me, as a side effect of their serving the super-rich.
