Foxnews recently posted an article about how conservatives are happier than liberals. And the reason given for it is that conservatives can 'rationalize social and economic inequalities'.
If you read into the article it basically says that conservatives are OK with it because they know that if a person works hard in life, they will make something of themselves.
I am living proof of that. I didn't grow up with things handed to me, but I got a job, went to school and here I am today. Living pretty well.
I've never seen a person that works really hard and does what they need to do fail over and over again. They may have some hard times, but we all do.
