        My problem is that the "any American can do anything" myth encourages cruel policies towards the poor and disenfranchised.

        Social Security benefits, like those Ryan relied on to attend college, can make a difference. Too bad he wants to cut them for others.

        if you are born poor in Can/US/ Western Europe you have a very good shot at life if you work hard. Not so elsewhere. Reason for the migrants

        It's more possible in Western Europe than the US, though.
