 | There is equality of opportunity in America, not equality of wealth distribution -- that's called communism.
Not everyone is equally smart, or equally hardworking, hence not everyone receives the same compensation.
Luck also plays a part in becoming successful, as does personality (e.g., someone very skilled can be a real ass).
This concludes today's life lesson (which your parents should have already taught you).
And how come you're not whining about France, who has double digit unemployment? That's $0 annual income for 10% of the population.

 | Well this must be above your head... who was talking about unemployment??? There is simply no opportunity of equality. Look how closely everyone is in the Government Powell as State Department another in the FCC Nepotism is rampant and pretty much locks everyone else out............. You may not find Racial discrimination as you had, but economic discrimination is the way.
So I gather you were unable to learn anything from your parents.... or they felt it would be just a waste of effort????
You have my sympathy, and so do your parents

I don't believe this is true. Nay, flat-out, your statement is false.

Therefore, the less-smart shall be servants to the smart.

 | I paid my own way through college with FEDERAL loans, and today pay more in taxes than what you (and the other genius who started this thread) earn in a year.
Those who don't see endless opportunity in America, are either stupid, lazy, or seeking a free handout.
You two are looking for either communist North Korea or communist China, where everyone earns the same amount (close to nothing) and owns the same thing (close to nothing).
A guaranteed 'good life' exists only in fantasies -- here on Earth it takes hard work and commitment.

JT, there are many desperatly poor people who work multiple jobs trying to make it. They are neither lazy nor seeking a handout.
Your conclusion, that since you made it everyone can, is flawed. It is flawed just on it's face. If you ever think about it.

Son, you are truly a dumb ass if you think people are looking to those countries as examples.
