Well, that's why Donald Trump doesn't want so many immagrants.

Well, scholarships are a thing nowadays. You don't need to be an Einstien to get one, you just have to be determined, and somewhat smart. Veterans may also apply for certain scholarships provided by the government (which I am fine with, because they actively served our country). As for those who can't go to college, if you live in a homeless shelter and eat from a donation food place, if you work like a dog and are disciplined and don't spend hardly anything, it is possible to get out of poverty. Millions of people who came to the U.S. did it that way. My own grandfather had to work like this, although not to such an extreme degree. With three babies to care for, at age 21.

All I have for the minimum wage argument now is that for it to be "liveable", they'd be paying about 40,000 dollars per year for low-level employees, which is crazy expensive. Compainies would have to raise prices in order to get money for janitors and guys like that. That makes consumers spend more money, so they have less income to hold on to. Which, again, part of the American dream is amassing wealth with as little government intervention as possible.

Socialism is against the American dream, which is why it is one of the few democracies that have not adopted it. If you get wealth, you should be able to enjoy it. As for a religious view on that, if they don't give anything to the poor, they'll probably go to Hell, so it's their fault.

Trust me, once you get older and start paying more taxes, you'll become a capitalist. Just look at one of those ex-hippies. They were diehard communists in the 60s, but now they are diehard capitalists. They would have laughed if someone told them they'd be thinking like a capitialist in 50 years, and you may laugh at that now, but mark my words.
