the exception, is the willingness to work for what you want. the general rule, is that we are limited by our abilities and our willingness to work. not by the system. sure, some people
do all the right things and have bad luck. that’s not the rule. take a stroll through the projects of hartford, you won’t see a lot of two parent households doing homework together. that breeds poverty. it’s mostly avoidable.

I am not selling it as the rule and I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. Hit the books,live within your means and anything is possible. That’s what I am selling but you can keep looking for pity and your piece of the pie.

"I am not selling it as the rule "

Of course not.

"and I have no idea how you came to that conclusion."

Because it's the only way he can make you wrong, if you said something as stupid as "this will always work". When you say that hard work usually pays off, and that making stupid decisions rarely pays off, he cannot respond to that. So in true liberal fashion, he ignores what you actually said, and responds to something that no one has ever said.

You can't talk to people who do this, it's not possible.
