Oh please Gary. I like you, but to quote Bud Fox, "Save the Workers of the World Unite Speeches".
I don't understand why you think life screwed you over and everyone else's success and standard of living happened because of things beyond their control, hard work, and financial responsibility.
Yea, some people do end up on hard times as a result of things beyond their control, but MILLIONS of people in this country started from nothing, make the median household income, work hard, SAVE THEIR MONEY (ie, learn the basics of investing so as not to get totally fleeced), and don't end up in homeless shelters when they lose their jobs.
The vast majority of middle class Americans end up the way they do because of hard work, persistence, the ability to deal with their problems in a responsible way, and the humility to ask for help when they need it.
From what I know of Bill, he's not the trust fund baby you make him out to be.
