Reading between the lines I would guess that you are a proponent of socialism?
Anyway, the basis of this polite rant is unfounded. There are thousands of efforts already in place for social betterment- gov grants, student loans, scholarships, companies are even offering to pay for education with work commitments- all of which enable each and every person the opportunity to get an education, and thus better wages. I didn’t have money for college. I worked hard in high school for a scholarship. I got a student loan that I am still paying 10 years after. I worked in the school cafeteria in exchange for a meal ticket. The means are already there. It is the mentality of the low wage worker to be content with bitching instead of being willing to make the sacrifices to live “the American dream.”
