The Federal Government.

Success is hard to come by these days because your Government has run up a $36 Trillion Dollar Debt., and wages haven't kept up with Inflation.

Overall inflation is up 20+% just since Biden took office.

The Government has robbed you of the American Dream by giving you runaway inflation and a devalued currency. On top of that, their solution to the problem is to ignore it and spend more money, faster.

You are looking at a problem of trying to afford the legally required western standard of living on the global wages for low skilled labor we have imported with immigration and trade deals, if you can even get a job at all.

Wealth hoarding by the 1% coinciding with a massive inflation boost, a living wage still not being the standard for minimum wage, and financial education being an optional education, often taken almost exclusively by that same 1% crowd.

Too lazy

The amount of people acting like working 40 hours is some form of barbaric servitude, to me and my successful entrepreneurial group well don't recall the last time we were only part-time

Rapacious capitalism.
Socialism for the rich.

Some people are always looking for shortcuts and do not want to do the hard work it takes to be successful.
