I know exactly where you are coming from though because I use to be like that. I use to say to myself I worked hard to get where I am, why can't everyone else do the same. As I have gotten older, however, I realized that if I hadn't had the some of the opportunities I had, I probably would have suffered the safe fate as those who are just getting by.
I believe the government can help and I would at least like to see all children under certain age (18 or 22 yo?) have free health care and education.

They do have free health care and you have not heard of public schools but school is only what you make of it.To give people the out to say I did not have the opportunity you had so thats why I'm poor is giving them an excuse to do so. There is tons of help in this country for anyone that wants to make the most of their lives. I'm not saying that all will become rich but they can make a good life if they choose to. You say you had oppertunities many of which you probably made for your self and they did not just fall out of the sky. If your sitting at home donig nothing opportunity is not going to come to your house and find you.
