Why are you making statements like these?
Someone can work their ass off in this country and still end up being underpaid and / or underutilized, losing their job and unable to find another, and in generally dire economic straits. For some, all it takes is an especially ill-timed injury or unexpected bill. There are also people who make disproportionate sums of money for doing practically nothing. "Don't forget to like and subscribe. Don't forget to stop by my shop to get a t-shirt that says 'Obnoxious Youtuber' on it."
You seemingly use the hardships of people in other countries to downplay the hardships of the people in this country. You may have read about "how the world works," but you haven't personally been in a position to say half the shit you have.

I'm glad things worked out for your parents, but if you think that their example typifies the American experience, you're the one in the damn bubble.
