I never said those conditions didn't exist. OH and I are debating to which degree of the working population it actually effects.

You just dismissed them as irrelevant because they impact a minority of Americans. Much better.

All the more reason to look at improving policy instead of pulling the rug out from everyone, no?

A broken system doesn't have success stories of any kind. Hence the word "broken". America, both in the past and right now, has plenty. I'm all for policies and other ideas that improve the conditions that allow those success stories to happen even more frequently.
