Exactly and such a policy really enabled the majority of poor people to have the opportunity to rise up and become wealthy didn't it?

This mentality really bothers me.
How poor you are in the US, has nothing to do with your ability to "rise up and become wealthy". The only thing that is needed, is some basic level of intelligence, motivation, and effort.
I have seen none of those qualities in you yet, so stop blaming government, gas money, not knowing how to ride a bike, a pain in your hip, your managers and there kids, and everyone else you can think of for your situation.
(I threw some excuses in from a past thread)

No. The truth is at my last job most of those chosen to be managers were either the favorites or in some cases the relatives of the supervisors.
When employers and those in charge have vested interest in staying in charge, then that makes those in the group that aren't in charge have fewer opportunities available to them to rise up to a similar position.
That is just common sense. Sure there are those than can get lucky and slip through the cracks on this, but there are many more people that work just as hard year after year but never see any significant increases in their income or standard of living.

The "poor me" attitude never did anyone any good.
The ones that do best in life are not the lucky. They are the ones that try the hardest. Many say that if you took all the money away from people. the rich today would be the people who became rich again.
it has nothing to do where where you start. Only your determination on where you want to finish, and the choices you make to get there.
Quitting because you felt cheated is not a good decision (unless you quit for a better job).

Its easy for one person to make statements like yours but in one of your previous posts in another thread you said you didn't work as hard as some people were working at a former job, and I would suspect that at least some of those that did work harder aren't making $80,000.00 a year now.
I know people that worked at fastfood restaurants for more than twenty years who were never given the opportunity to move up to manager and never had huge increases in their standards of living while working there.
