Youre debating people who think the world is pre-ordained and dont believe in merit.

Anyone not working a decent paying job by now is either willingly poor or just not smart enough to compete in the modern economy

Don't you think this might have something to do with the idea that the "reward" for merit is far less than advertised, far less than the work, etc.? Or at least there's a component here to the diminishing value of the dollar and the effort that goes into it?


It's not a simple "if x then y" if x and y are both changing constantly.


And I'd agree that some portion of what is faced today is controlled by the individual, but there's a portion that isn't - and there's a whole problem of minset, psychology, etc. that can effect the necessary outcome.
