Why are people so fucking poor?

I don't get it. I see fresh off the boat immigrants making it big a few years down the line while some people who are born here, speak the language and know the culture can't do shit with their useless lives. You fucking losers, I pity you. I pity all you virgin bums you fucking shits. you useless Budweiser drinking, football cheering, economically retarded government blaming couch potatoes 'victims' of the bad economy. If you want to know why the Chinese are going to eat your lunch in a couple of years, look in the fucking mirror. Fuck they're already eating it. Suck it down fuckers, suck it down.

They say "redistribution of wealth" is on the way from all angles but, as I see it, it will either take two forms and one possible unintended consequence:

1) an attempt to stir constant struggle as wealth bounces back and forth between groups of people
2) constant wealth shuffling between nations, leaving disastrous results in the outgoing nations thus that they might never recover by the time they qualify as the "new" "poor and disparaged" as it should by its own definition

And the unintended consequence is that the wealth flows to a nation, e.g., China, as a placeholder example, that does not care about "redistributive wealth" in a way that applies to the new impoverished groups/nations.

I want back my cultural predecessors' old-time democratic republic and free market capitalism.

Do you think life is simply a matter of how hard you work or something?
Barring freak accidents and bureaucracy, do you believe it doesn't matter how hard you work?
