American society means you can make a better life for yourself if you make more money.
I’m not even sure how this is groundbreaking, debatable or really even insulting to be honest. It’s just how America has built itself and how its’ society functions. It’s how Canadian and western society function generally speaking too but to a milder degree because there are basic social nets in place. So I’m not sure why it comes as a surprise to people why education or politics or business or almost all parts of peoples quality of life is so tightly linked to money.
Want to get an education? Make more money.
Want power? Make more money
Want shelter or basic needs? Make more money
Want a doctor? Make more money
Want anything? Make more money
Like- how am I wrong here?
