You can call America a 'scam' all you want, it's still easy as hell to get ahead in this country if you know how to play the game.
In my hometown dudes working mediocre jobs bitch constantly about the lack of opportunity, how they're stuck making $10 an hour, etc. I tell 'em to save up a couple thousand dollars, move to North Dakota for a year or two, stack $$$ and develop skills they can use worldwide. Nothing but excuses from most of them.
The system may be stacked but it's not impenetrable. Develop a valuable skillset, save some money, parlay it into favorable investments. Rinse and repeat. Start a business, develop a list of clients, then contract out the work to other people. Sell the business if it gets big enough and the price is right.
If you're not comfortable taking risks, perhaps America is not the place for you. Move to Europe and enjoy a nearly-guaranteed middle-class existence. But this country still greatly rewards those of us with initiative and balls.
If there's a nation on earth where it's easier to make big money and get ahead, let me know. I'm all ears.
