How are people fucked? 90% of people have the same opportunities that I have. It’s what they do with those opportunities that matter.

I know many cases, including people very close to me, who have come from complete dirt, to self made millionaires. Why? They didn’t make stupid mistakes and they used the resources they had.

Are there circumstances when people won’t have those resources. Yes. But again, sorry, that’s the shit end of the stick.

The problem in this country is that people are being rewarded for making mistakes and people are being led to believe in a false image of themselves. i.e nice house, nice car, nice boat, when they can’t even afford it.

And why does this happen? Because the government helps them make this mistake by giving them money or credit they don’t deserve.
