Kristof explained his story of a friend who was intelligent and worked hard. Rick Goff was his friend's name and he died without getting his wroth in society. Goff was born in a lower class and in the article it says that many of the lower class people in America get opportunity. He was married twice and divorced twice. He raised two children on his own and helped out his ex- wife which wound him up closer to his death bed. It is said that America is the land of opportunity, but I say it is not if lower class people can not be of higher class just because they were born into a low class in society. The government needs to realize the issues surrounding this and come up with a solution to this problem, America has. Ted Nugent said " that the takers in society are entitlement chumps and gluttonous, soulless pigs."  I agree with statement because it does seem like this. Another thing he said was that it was "compared the poor to toenail fungus." This is a strong statement because that is most likely how the poor feel. Living of low sums of cash barley making it while the rich bath them self in what ever they want when they want it not caring who doesn't have there abilities. The rich see the poor as rats on a street or waste in the sewer they could care less, at least that's what I got out of reading this article. The poor see the rich as controllers above everyone else and high in power and to powerful to take down, sad that we have come to live like this. I think the world would be a better place if we could see eye to eye and solve these insane problems we have to live with. This happens a lot everywhere and is not fair to others that are trying to live a good life.
