A lot of Americans believe that if you work hard, you can get ahead. Given what any of you know about the wealth and poverty gap, is this true or not?

No unfortunately, hard work is not neccesarily the precursor of success. It generally takes money to make money. unless you are one of the lucky few that can succeed in the entertainment market.

Most people who are in poverty have low education levels.
So yes, if you work hard, you can get ahead, but sometimes that work has to come in the form of getting an education and investing in your future. No one ever struck it rich by working for minimum wage their whole life.

absolutely..., but not if your in a gang, or a life pitty party _ 90% of all democrats, minorities, or teen pregnant, or stupid!
if you consistently think & make good desicions ( good old fashion common sense ) ie if you want to get drunk do it at home for $12.00, not at a bar all night $ 150.00, dwi - $3000.00, lost job - $ 50,000.00, etc...! don't whine about gas prices... get one of these new 40 mpg cars for about $12,000.00...
any questions???
