You really do no understand do you? Yes, I realize I can change my life, and I am taking steps to do it already despite being born into a situation that almost imprisons me into poverty for a lifetime. But you are totally missing the point. There are an increasing amount of people in my situation in this country, and it is getting harder and harder to compete with other to eek out a life barely above poverty. The middle class is dying, the ranks of the poor are growing, and the poor are becoming more and more destitute. The economic system of this country is against the people. It takes from the poor and middle class and gives it to the rich.
Sure, I could be greedy and only think about getting myself out of poverty, but I tend to focus on the system as a whole because I actually give a fuck about other people because I know first hand what it feels like to at the very bottom of the ladder. I may make it out of my situation, but I will never stop hating this system and this country as long as it exists the way it does.
After half a lifetime of severe labor exploitation, I have staked it into my heart that I will never cease to hate the system of capitalism simply because it takes advantage of and abuses those born into situations beyond their control.
I will die with hatred in my heart for this country. May the capitalistic system in the United States burn to the ground, and if the country must burn with it in order to implement a system not based on the birth lottery, then so be it.
