Of course, the notion of equal opportunitiy might be difficult to reconcile when some parents can send their child to a better college than others can afford. 

I can see that, but then I see other things. Our document control specialist is a Bosnian woman, who lives a good middle class life. She and her husband were very young when they fled their homeland during the Bosnian war and made their way to the US. They arrived here with little money, but found fellow countrymen who put them up for a while. They both learned english, worked hard, became US citizens thru the proper methods, and just plain worked hard.

Her husband is now the head of mechanical maintenance for a decent sized company, they retained the duplex that was the first house they bought, now get rental income for both sides, and live in an average middle class home. One boy is now in college and they're set up to send the second when he graduates high school.

So, two non-Americans who arrived here with mere dollars in their pocket and are now living a life they never imagined they would when they left their war torn country.

I see things like this and propose that our poor, downtroden people are really just spoiled lazy bitches. And the Democrats pertetuate this by continuing to spoil them through entitlements.

"The Man owes it to me." Baloney. My dad always told me these two things while I was growing up. 1.) Boy, the world doesn't owe you anything, and 2.) Boy, life isn't fair. Deal with it.
