Would you say that America is the land of opportunity and that success is possible if you work hard enough for it? Or would you say that the system is unfairly stacked against some people?
NO.

Nah, if you are white in the current year you aren't getting anywhere.
>>74389228
Hell no.
At least not if you're a white male
Big government makes it harder to do that.

Yes.
The beetles weren't rich when they were selling records in Britain not until they came to America they went major league.
Also look at athletes the biggest contracts in America are 25 million. The rest of the world doesn't come close. Look at the highest paid "football" (soccer) or also rugby players. They make 60K a month. That's peanuts compare to what these nogs in our country earn playing basketball.

Stacked against you if you're a white male.

No. Americans born at the bottom of the ladder are in fact now less likely to rise to the top than those situated similarly in most other nations,The proportion of children born on the bottom rung of the ladder who rise to the top as adults in the U.S. is 7.5 percent—lower than in the U.K. (9 percent), Denmark (11.7), and Canada (13.5).
It's a pretty rigged system. But if you can find somebody to tell you how to game it, you can game it.
It's definitely unfairly stacked, and I'd rather it were less so, but that's life for you anyway.

any good system will be biased against stupid people.
because stupid people are stupid.
that's how it fucking works.
