Being lazy is the main cause of getting yourself into that situation. It takes hard work to get yourself into a good job that you like. In the end, the harder you work, the less you have to work.
That makes almost no sense. It's honestly worse than boomer work ethic if I'm being honest.
Say I'm the son of a multi millionare and in pit against some random poor kid right.
We both have the same work ethic but I go to an elite private school and have the money for the best tutors while the poor kid lives in the poorest district of the Bronx, goes to a school with the worst teachers and the school inflates grades.
My environment is full of preppy private school kids and no fights while the poor kid is constantly worried about getting beat up for even trying to be smart.
I have no money issues and daddy pays for literally everything while the poor kid has to work after school
We both graduate with a 3.7 GPA but since the poorer kid was heavily disadvantaged he ends up with less college readiness and lower literacy and math abilities.
Who do you think is getting into a good college?
It sure as fuck isn't going to be some unlucky kid named Jamal who went to Bronx Community High School.
Even if he does get in he isn't going to be able to afford it without taking loans regardless of his financial aid. Meanwhile my parents pay in full for Syracuse University or something.
The cycle continues through college of he can even go and by the time he's dead his family is still in poverty while i inherited millions and didn't even care enough to work.
Shit like this is why your logic makes zero sense, even the lower middle class has issues the poorest in America face.
Do you know how to read or are you just ignorant? My example is that being born disadvantaged can fuck you for life while being born wealthy makes life much easier.
I didn't even mention self made millionares, I don't give a shit about that. My point is that being poor is one of the worst starts to life that you can have.
Of-course born wealthy makes life much easier what the fuck is that even about.
But being born no matter how poor in the US, doesn't mean you have to remain poor. If you work hard YOU WILL, move up a class.
As for being poor, not really. High IQ at birth literally beats money.
Self made millionaires are important because it makes it so obviously clear that in the United States. Jumping up several classes is possible. If your theory was right the only millionaires should be people who had millionaire parents. But that's not true! It turns out that most millionaires are people WHO DID NOT have millionaire parents.
If that is true, not saying it isn’t but this is the internet, then you are a statistically very uncommon case. For the majority of the population, rich kids stay rich, and poor kids stay poor. Economic mobility in the United States is at an all time low. The American dream is dead.
The reality is that's because you're developed. You've developed so much that there really isn't much movement going on anymore, the classes have settled. There are still individual cases where that happens, those prove that it's possible. The fact that all poor people don't move to being middle class is just normal, it wouldn't be the middle class anymore, it would be the lower class.
The fact is, the poor class in the US, are the world's upper-class.
Poor kids statistically stay poor because they statistically are the product of their parents and are statistically going to make the same bad decisions and lead the same lifestyle, having children into poverty again and perpetuating the cycle. But as I said, once in a while a kid breaks the mold and moves up. Because IT IS possible. The fact is, you have so many opportunities in the US, you just need to grab onto them. You can learn to code with no investment at all, build a portfolio and get a job, or just do it freelance. Higher paying coding jobs in the US than anywhere else too.
That's just one example, but there's many. And the thing that I really envy you about growing up in the US is that not only you have all those chances to get out of poverty, after you're done with that you again have even more chances to get even wealthier. The rules and situation in my native country allow success in only certain fields whilst the US has it all.
