So what is wrong with the system? Why is there poverty in the richest country (if that is still so) on Earth? After 200 years, you think there might be a solution.
Hard work,education,living within one's means,a little luck but other than that, I don't see any type Utopian solutions, there are always going to be those at the bottom of the "food chain" so to speak and all the government policies in the world won't resolve it, I mean, can you name a country without poverty?
Well that is the question, and I probably would have to agree with your observation that it takes several items in order to succeed in the capitalist system. Attitude is a likely culprit. I can see how that would stiffle education.
I pretty much destroyed the hard word myth ditch digger vs. CEO, but work as a means to self-esteem building for confidence, relates back to changing attitude for education. A work element in the school years would seem productive, some kind of community program like Obamas.
Both my Parents came from dirt poor beginnings so I have faith in hard work,education and those things, need the luxury of descent health I suppose but I have known people who are blind or paralyzed reach success.
