I wasn't "born with a silver spoon in...." At one period of time in my life (supporting a wife and four children) I worked THREE jobs and was lucky to see home for a couple hours a day between those jobs. Maybe there is a very small minority of folks that "have no chance of getting out of a rut" but most of it is really just a matter of motivation, rather than ability. I've known guys that had little or no education that have made a good living. I know one friend that never made it past 7th grade and is doing better than me. Some folks get so used to gov. handouts that they are comfortable living off the "system" rather than enjoying the pride of making it on their own.
