I was poor, and now I am not. I got here by taking advantage of my rights, not by just taking. 

Wrong, you are LUCKY enough that people are willing to pay you enough that you can afford private healthcare and educatio

 

If you think I got here with luck, you will never amount to anything. Sorry if that's harsh

No, I got here because I worked my way though school. I bussed tables, and then waited tables for 35-40 hours a week while I went to school full time.

I paid for everything as I went. Never took out a student loan. I lived in a shitty studio apartment so I could have enough money for book, tuition, and food.

I would agree it was luck if you took everyone who was as motivated and hardworking as I was and only some of them were successful.

I would bet that the number of people who did what I did and and can afford to not be a burden on society, would be close to 100% (with most probably making more then me).

no, it's not luck at all. It's dedication, and living in a country that affords me the rights I need to succeed.

P.S. You still didn't answer the question.

so, according to you, anyone from a poor family or with a learning disability or whatever dosent deserve the same rights as you, youre also saying that people who do what you did but want to work in a career that pays less than the amount needed to get private healthcare and education, btw, we need people to do jobs that pay less, otherwise there would be no economy.
