JFM,
Gee, the house you grew up in sounds like the house I bought 2 years ago! I grew up in a 4 room apartment, while my father worked two jobs to support us. I basically never saw him except on Sunday.
My parents had me and my brother in a one bedroom basement apartment in NYC. It had no view of the sky.
They worked their asses off, unlike those who you seem to think are underprivaledged. My mother cleaned houses, my father worked two jobs.
They skimped and saved and did without 3 TV's so that they could afford a house someday, which they did when I was 9 years old.
You have this attitude that there is no way to success or the American dream in this country.
Find me somebody who is willing to work hard, go to school at night, not have kids out of wedlock, and have some pride in themselves, and I will guarantee you success.
You want the success for the lackies of the world, but without the hard work.
