Yes. And if you miss out on all the "feel good" stories of it happening all the time in america, you need to stop watching whatever it is you are watching and do some research. Loser Makes Good, Poor man ends up rich, and similar tales happen all the time in America. But because of the media are swept under the rug for the more "enticing and scandalous" stories about wieners, and boehners and other political partisan crap.
I'm not saying that everyone will end up a rags to riches story, but the fact that they happen is further proof that anyone with enough determination, grit, and desire can make things better for themselves.
Being ignorant to the possibility of that happening doesn't make your point correct.
This post is the definition of "ignorance is bliss". Take the rose colored glasses off.
I think you need to quit watching Hoax News, sorry Fox News, and pick up a book. LOL at people becoming rich all the time in America and the media sweeping them under the rug!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! That is probably the funniest thing ive read in a while, it truly made my day. Now, explain the 45 million people who live in poverty and the top 400 wealthiest citizens having more then the bottom 150 million combined. You are so delusional and misinformed, its a joke. Though the statistics prove you wrong, simple common sense here I think is enough. You seem to have a hard time distinguishing between rules and exceptions, as I stated before the "rags to riches" individuals are a very very tiny minority. LOL at someone from Harlem, who has to worry about survival and just walking down the street safely to get home having the same opportunity as someone in the Hamptons......just, LMAO. Wow. I am right, Americans truly dont get it, and the above post confirms it. Im done with this thread, you guys keep sipping on that Horatio Alger Myth kool-aid. ROFL.
