I think its a telltale bad sign about our society when people start to blame others for their situation and use that as an excuse for inaction rather than finding the industry, smart decisions and perseverance to see if you can't change your situation yourself. 

If you agree the system is making it increasingly more difficult to have economic mobility, what are we arguing about?

At one point there was the argument that if you were lazy and stupid enough to get outworked by an illegal that you deserved to lose your job, so who cares if they come into this country.  Then the argument had to be changed to them not taking our jobs so much as coming here to rape and murder us.  So illegals went from taking jobs from dumb lazy Americans, to just straight up murder-raping us all.

And yes, with every election we see we are bombarded with fake sympathy and promises to save the poor downtrodden middle class.
