Absolutely not.
You are suggesting that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group. The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights, cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.
look how good we are doing!:
how about this little bit of statics, mr. wonderful:
Even though the 1920s are thought of as a decade of prosperity, by today’s standards almost all Americans in the 1920s were poor. Economic growth made almost all Americans richer than their counterparts of the 1920s. A reduction in economic growth, even a slight one, if compounded, causes more future poverty than would otherwise have been the case.
If the annual growth rate of GDP in the United States had been just one percentage point lower between 1885 and 2005, then the United States today would be no richer than Mexico. The main thing that helps all poor people in the long run is economic growth.

and look how much the ETIC (Earned Income Tax Credit) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income) had zero effect on the poverty levels...
when you tax producers, you hurt the poor.
did you know that unions lobbied for the introduction of minimum wage laws so as to exclude black workers from the labor market. By preventing black workers from selling their labor for less than white workers, the black workers were prevented from competing for jobs held by whites.
How thoughtful!
And like they always say:
of the people, by the people, for certain people
oh yeah, America existed before 1937, if you didn't realize...before FDR decided touse abuse his executive powers to transform the Supreme Court to cater to his will...

WASHINGTON -- The Interior Department's inspector general says the White House edited a drilling safety report in a way that made it falsely appear that scientists and experts supported the idea of the administration's six-month ban on new drilling.

Well just so you know: As the democrat party controls our public school system, the courses taught are favorable to socialism. American “scholars” are not taught that socialism is a cancer, which will eat away the core of a capitalist nation by simply removing any desire of the citizens to advance their station in life. It squashes all ambition to live better, to make more money, to manufacture better goods, to offer better services, to do/say/produce anything in which one could exhibit pride either in themselves or their country.

And so we're making the world safe for democracy, rather than a republic who stays out of it. USA.

I'm not sure this has been true for a while now. Even elementary school children are learning to be ashamed of the United States -- an historical emphasis on injustices perpetrated against the Native Americans, chattel slavery, child labor, bigotry against immigrants, the civil rights movement, Vietnam, and so on. It's considered to be in poor taste to discuss the superiority of the United States or the massive wealth it has brought to the rest of the world.
