>>99030089>Do you seriously think people are unemployed because they personally choose to be unemployedA few yes, I know people like that personally, but I'd admit that's anecdotal and not illustrative of the larger problem.
>If someone is raised in a poor household which lacks the financial resources to provide educationThere is almost nowhere in the country where education isn't free, even discounting government schooling, there are large amounts of shelters and libraries that allow people access to the internet, and the unending resources for education it holds. And none of these places, schools, shelters, or libraries turn away people whose parents are homeless.
>do these people have the same choices a rich American hasLargely, yes. At least, in regards to the things that matter, they can learn, they can study, and they can work. The resources available to anyone, especially the impoverished or underrepresented groups through private charity/scholarship/grants is extraordinary.
I'm not saying becoming Bill Gates is handed on a silver platter to.. anyone really, but becoming middle-class is incredibly attainable to anyone willing to make good decisions and put in effort.
