I think you should be a lot more grateful, that you were born with an inherit privilege-that you seem unable to acknowledge.
I have seen people around the world, and even around this great country, that work harder every single day than most of us have ever had to do in an entire week. They do so with the sole hope of being able to make it to the next day, so they can try and provide for themselves and families (a retirement not even being a dream) and they know that they will be doing so every day for the rest of their lives. Their "retirement" comes when they die and they no longer have to suffer each and every day.
The difference between them and us, is that we were just lucky enough to have been born in the right place, with the right color of skin and opportunities that they will never have. After all, it's not like we did anything to earn the advantage and privilege we have, prior to being born.
To the OP, thanks for posting your observations, because they are dead on.
