Lot's of things, all of which I'm thankful that I don't have to any great degree.
Lot's of things doesn't really qualify as an answer to the question. There are plenty of stories of people who made the decision to overcome issues to become successful. Not everyone will make those decisions, but they can.....if they really want to.
Laziness, stupidity, ignorance, bad up-bringing, lack of education, bad breaks, bad life choices, drugs, alchohol, mental instability, etc, etc, etc.
And yes, there are plenty of stories of people who made the decision to overcome issues to become successful and probably just as many who didn't.
So the question is, as a society, what do we do with the losers who just don't have what it takes?
Well, we shouldn't enable them. It's called tough love. We have 4th and 5th generation welfare receipients because they have no incentive to better themselves. Why should they work when the government will give them a monthly check just like it did mom? It's easier to get a little money for free than to work for more. Besides, some bleeding heart liberal will fight to get them a bigger piece of the pie from those evil private jet owners stealing the nation's wealth.
