Your post conveys the classic victim's mentality: "The deck is stacked against me, I will never do any better (without the help of the government)." You and I both know the hundreds/thousands of stories of people rising from very little and into something remarkable with nothing but determination on their side. I will have to take it offline sometime and tell you the story of my father. Suffice to say, you will NEVER convince me that the deck is stacked against anyone at this point in our time.
