They have every single opportunity as anyone else



Opportunity is not equal in this country. Never has been and never will be. We're getting further away from a lot of that being based on race, and moving more towards it being based on wealth. To claim everyone born in this country has the same opportunity is pie in the sky talk.


And I'm not saying it should be. It would be nice if it was, but it's impossible to attain. Someone born into wealth has an infinite amount more opportunity than someone born into poverty.

Wrong, have you ever tried to get financial aid for school? Hint; if you come from middle class money good luck. If you come from nothing you will get the money.

No one can stop you from becoming successful here. It doesn't mean you will be you have every right and every opportunity.
The poorest kid in America still gets free school and a shot at going to college.
