In this country, you pretty much have the opportunity to be whatever you want to be. If you're willing to work hard, you will more than likely be rewarded. Some people were born with more, and ended up with less. Others were born with less, and ended up with more.
I've always said that life is all about the choices you make.......make good ones, and you'll probably have a good life, make bad ones, and your life will suffer as a result.
I do believe that there are some poor people who simply can't do a thing about their circumstances. But, most of these people are older, and from a period of time when there were not the opportunities that there are today. A person born in the last 40 years should be able to do anything they want to do, if they're wiling to work hard.
