    Being less oppressed doesn’t mean equal.
    It sure is. Millions do it though. Not waiting for handouts. Equal means the same opportunities, not the same wealth or station in life. That is up to the individual. Everyone in this country has equality.

    Read what I wrote again, and then point to where I said it was impossible for any person from a low income background to ever achieve financial success.

    Then you will realize you wrote a response to me based on what you wished or imagined I wrote, rather than what I actually wrote.

    That showed me right there that the United States has a caste system, and one's opportunity to advance to a higher caste is limited and fraught with difficulties

    Why are you so dishonest?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It does appear that Cypress has been snared in a lie.

    You must have a very low education level. Either your reading comprehension is deficient, or you are simply to dishonest to admit I never said it was impossible for any low person from a low income background to achieve financial success.

    "...or you are simply to dishonest to admit...'

    It's "too" not "to."

    Hey Dummy, I am not Gallup and do not survey a thousand people.

    If I surveyed a dozen professional colleagues and one came from a lower income, blue collar family. That means statistically, what, about eight percent of that particular population of highly paid professionals came from a low income family.

    How does that jive with your claim that I supposedly said it is impossible for people of low income background to ever achieve financial success?

    If your reading comprehension did not suck, you would have easily been able to grasp the premise that it is rarer and more difficult for children of low income or disadvantaged backgrounds to reach the upper echelons of financial accomplishment

    Improper usage of "to" and "too" indicates a paucity of education, Snowflake.

    THE LEFT THINKS THEY ARE WINNING when they control the media and entertainment industries and falsely PROJECT their ideology as being in the majority because they have a monopoly of propaganda distribution.

    The real majority is watching..........THE SILENT MAJORITY

    THE PEOPLE are AWAKE and watching, observing .....taking notes. Come NOV. 2020 The final results of that observation will become apparent to these SHOW PRODUCERS.
