[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"][QUOTE="JustSignedUp"]life is shit. if youre born into a low income household, its ggSandwichLordWhich shouldn't mean shit. Most of our ancestors were all low income with little to no education and worked their asses off. It means a ton. If you are born into a low income household your opportunities to succeed are significantly reduced. Low income areas have the worst schools, so you are at an educational disadvantage. The majority of those around you are involved in illegal activities and peer pressure is constantly tugging at you to join in. You have to deal with drugs, parents that aren't around, violent crime; thriving in this environment is extremely difficult, not to mention psychologically damaging. If it was that easy to make it, more people would. But sadly, the vast majority stay stuck in the circle; it's hard not to when becoming a pro athlete or musician are your best chances at living a decent life. Most families that are are poor stay poor for generations. And if not for the industrial revolution, or the opportunity to leave to a new world, your family would probably still be poor too. Also, it's impossible for everyone to make it. There are only so many jobs. Not everyone can be a doctor or a lawyer. There are people that will have to work at McDonald's their whole life, that's how our economy works. If all the low income households were suddenly able to make $50,000 a year, $50,000 would just become the new $15,000 and they'd still be poor.
thus, technocracy.
