dangles, you are introducing the concept of responsibility. one of the pillars of current liberalism, is that no one is responsible for their lot in life. everything is someone else’s fault, preferably a white guy in a suit.

of course you are correct. i saw a shudybthat said that ifnpeople follow a few simple rules, ( get at least an associates degree, don’t have kids until
you are married), you have like a 7% chance of being poor. middle class is a bit harder to achieve than it was, with the loss of
manufacturing, but it’s still low hanging fruit.
