Like I said in our first exchange, we will have to agree to disagree.  I believe in personal responsibility.  

FYI,  kids won't struggle to keep the house.  My house is paid off and I didn't have someone else do it for me.  I actually worked and it did it myself!

That part of the paragraph had nothing to do with you. But this is the issue. You care about yourself. Thus bringing me back to my previous post. I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people. I'm glad you have a good life. Some of us want to fight to ensure other people also are able to have a good life. 

Yeah personal responsibility is great, but there are billion different things that affect how people grow up. Lead poisoning affects people's ability to make good decisions. Lots of other chemicals. Having a good diet growing up affects people's ability to make good decisions. Being in a good school, affects people's ability to make good decisions. People's genetics affects their ability to make good decisions. Having good role models affects people's ability to make good decisions. A lot of these things are dependent on being born and growing in the right area, to the right people. 

Propaganda makes it easier for people to make bad decisions. Having money makes it easier for people to survive bad decisions. Bill Gates' kids can do any dumb degree they want, and it won't hurt their life. 

Life isn't fair in any way, shape or form. You can pat yourself on your back, because you survived and made good decisions and came out on top. 

Personally I don't care about coming out on top. I just want to live in a good society. I'm doing fine for myself.
