Here is a real life example... maybe far fetched... humor me...
I am a hard working college student going to a shitty local school taking out loans and putting myself in debt to get an education. Then you have another guy my age going to a more accredited university, with his mom and dad paying his way. Who do you think is going to have it better? Who do you think is going to have an easier time getting a job or starting his own company out of college?
i believe that hard work pays off. just because some kid was born poor doesnt mean he/she cannot do good in school. i have a ton of friends whos parents are dirt poor. they have not had any help paying for college. they work their ass off, and becuase of their integredy and hard work, it will pay off. one friend of mine was an orphan by the time he was 13. lived with his grandmother till he was 16. worked for a asphault company though high school and college. he is now working for oracle, making 6 figures. thats probably the most extreme case, but similar situations are normal. i worked my ass off in high school, and got hope. hope payed for 4 years of KSU. i had a B.S. now, and i will be working on my masters this coming fall. i also own my house, and my car. and my parents have not helped whatsoever. and i never expected them to. so why is it that the poor cannot do the same thing i have?
