This just drives home how difficult it is to succeed in the United States. When people refer to our country has the country of abundant oppurtunity, they were simply misled. It amazes me to think that there are families who survive on minimum wage. How do families survive when their car breaks down, for example, and they can't afford to fix their only form of transportation? That struggle is unbelievable. If so many are struggling, why isn't something being done about it?
