I didn't know if I should put this in fast lane or slow lane so I picked the better of the two :rockon:

-I am a 15 year old high school student
-One of my classes is AP Government (we have been talking about economics lately)


The discussion that our teacher prompted us with was

"Do you think that any poor person is able to reach the upper class?"
Right away people started saying things like

"No, the poor aren't given opportunities to succeed!"

"No matter how hard they work they won't become rich!"

"The rich people should give them better jobs!"

Let's just say that after hearing at least a dozen slow lane excuses I about lost it.

Preaching the fast lane I said that anybody could become successful

They were very distraught and even my teacher didn't agree with me, but after telling them my supporting arguments "The key points of the fast lane" I could tell I won some of them over

HOWEVER

There will always be people who won't believe you and THATS GREAT because the world needs employees!


AND I'M JUST GLAD I'M NOT ONE OF THEM!:tiphat:
