Well if your plan is to simply make $20-30K a year, then its going to difficult to parlay that into wealth I suppose. That's the idea of getting a skill and getting a good job, create opportunities.

I'm not arguing someone like Trump deserves more respect than someone built entirely from the ground up. But I respect anyone who takes something relatively small and builds something much bigger in general. Again, you can give most people a million and they won't do anything impressive with it.

If I was only earning a paltry 30k a year... I would be changing careers, especially for how hard I work.
However, not everyone has the same opportunities.

And I do agree.

Most people don't have great opportunities handed to them. Successful (people who live relatively comfortably) and unsuccessful people come from the same communities, schools, etc. Those who thrive generally just worked harder or made smarter choices in life.

I don't buy the liberal argument that there are simply too many barriers for healthy normal functioning people to thrive.
