The thing everyone needs to understand is that not every person is given the same opportunities. A very small percentage of people are born with a golden spoon in their mouth. The thing is, you have to dedicate 2-4 years of your life living like shit and in poverty if you're not born in the upper class. After you suffer your 2-4 years of shit life getting a degree, or some certificate, you can then START to move on to living a better life. Yes, you will still struggle to pay off student loans and what not, but they will eventually be paid off, and you will be able to make a decent living if you live within your means. America is not a land of equal opportunity, but it is a land of opportunity, and everyone is dealt a different hand...It just depends on how you play that hand.
All of that being said, I am not making an excuse for lazy people on welfare. I can rationalize and understand that when you're born into generations of poverty, and all you know is to rely on other people to live, it does make it much tougher, but it does not justify it completely. We are humans that have the ability to think and make choices and understand what is right and wrong. That is why I don't justify laziness, but at the end of the day, I know if I work hard and get to where I want to be and live within my means, I won't have to worry about what the lower class is doing.
