: Growing up in white middle class america I have seen very little.
Exactly. If you had grown up in black slum-class America, (or middle class Denmark for that matter) your view would be very different indeed.

:But what I have seen tells me that if anyone has the initiative to go out and get a job, no matter were it is, fast food joints grocery stores, there is always one avaliable.

Not always true. I have been turned down for being "physically unmarketable". Capitalism on its peak.

:And if you tell me that one cannot receive a job due to lack of education tell me then how a freshman in high school can get a job. PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS and look around; you can do anything.
For some people, the idea of a future job doesn't involve grocery stores, junkfood joints and the like. If they can't afford the education they need (a common problem in capitalist nations) that's just their problem. Why not try to build a society where everyone, upon entering life, have the same possibilities? Such a social order is not possible under capitalism.

:And yes you are better than them because you have the initiative that they lack.
