This is one of the most insipid pieces of writing I&#x27;ve read on this site in a long time. Despite apparently achieving his dreams and becoming a millionaire, he sounds very bitter and unhappy because...a politician isn&#x27;t paying him lip service and personally thanking him? Because people have hard lives and want to see a system that works for them rather than oppressing them under of the guise of &quot;hard work pays off&quot;?<p>&quot;But the wonderful thing about America is that if you are willing to make the right sacrifices, you can achieve whatever you want.&quot;<p>Except this is patently false for a large, growing portion of people, those that get denied opportunities because of their race, their class, their names, their lack of funds.<p>The whole rhetoric of &quot;I gritted my teeth and pulled up my sleeves and became a millionaire and you can too!&quot; is so hollow and facetious in its victim-blaming that it&#x27;s insulting.<p>So yes, Rob May, I do think you are part of the problem. Not because you are a millionaire or worked hard, but because you are myopic and unsympathetic to anyone who is not like you.
