You present a good sob story but life is tough and people have to live with the choices that they make. If someone works 70 hours a week and can't make it that is their fault. Sorry bout their luck but people who are impoverished are there by choice. All I can say for them is make better choices and work harder to get ahead. Pursuit of happiness doesn't mean that you'll get it. Sometimes life sucks and then ya die.
It is not a sob story, it is a statistical fact. And no, that is not always down to the choices people make. Some people do not catch that break, did not have a proper education because they are not that smart or indeed made a stupid choice once and never were able to get back on their feed. And these people sometimes work 10 times as hard as any CEO or company director but do not get paid accordingly (a proper wage for a proper job).
