Most individuals... made stupid decisions... or are young...

some very few were born into conditions which make measurable success in earning and garnering wealth essentially impossible, but this is not true for the overwhelming majority.

When I see immigrants come to America with nothing in their pockets and unable to speak English turn out children who are at the top of their classes in practically every high school or college in San Diego county, it is hard for me to make excuses for the young or the stupid.

I maintain that any hard working, smart and determined American with decent parents can make it rich in the U.S. Parents don't have to pass along money, if they can manage to pass along a work ethic.
