Correct.

But EVERYONE has the opportunity to be rich.

It might mean a massive struggle full of sacrifice that many here might find to be unimaginably difficult. It might mean starting out by sifting through garbage to recycle and resell items to save enough money to leave the shit hole someone lives in just to expose themselves to greater opportunities to be taken advantage of in a larger city. There is always room to outwork and out earn those around you. But being born into poverty does not mean being doomed to a life of poverty,,, just as someone in america might have to spend summers shoveling cow shit to pay for an education. Even people born in places like the slums of Dharavi in Mumbai find ways to make money, save money and change their lives. Its extremely sad that you ignore all the greatness in people and all they achieve and summarily dismiss them as being doomed.

You are projecting. Nothing more. You're poor. You're disappointed with how your life has turned out. Don't spit on the hopes and dreams and aspirations of others to comfort yourself as you wallow in self pity and bitterness.

Some of us "merikans" live in a nation that see's countless people every year migrating in from every 3rd world shithole in the world to out work, out produce and ultimately out earn people who were born here. They work, they save, they invest, they open restaurants, they buy and develop etc etc etc... Your ignorant point of view assumes that people are born to a certain station and that without the exact perfect circumstances handed to them by someone else, stand no chance at being wealthy. Thats absolutely not correct and its proven wrong daily in this nation which is why this country continues to be the worlds largest economy.

Using your simple minded, emotionally driven logic... Russia, India, China et al, all have no growing middle and upper class because they were all born to "disadvantage" which is absolutely wrong.
