The ways things are in this country was cemented into place by the founding fathers centuries ago. The wealthy stay wealthy and are afforded more opportunities than those less fortunate. It ain't ever going to change as long as those in power to make change also happen to be on the wealthier side of the fence. That's why congress continually vote themselves pay raises and lifetime benefits while also refusing to support raising the minimum wage.
That being said, if you work your ass off and always strive to improve your skill-sets, you can succeed at making at least a decent living.
