Of course we do. We have equality of opportunity and numerous diversity programmes to help people from a variety of backgrounds make it to the top if they have the work ethic and wherewithal. At my new job there are several women and minorities who are by no stretch of the imagination qualified for it, whilst several white men (and women) at the assessment day were far better.
What's utterly vile about this is that its based entirely on the presumption that minorities aren't smart enough to make it on their own known without big white daddy's help. Revolting racism.
Nevertheless, I'm safely in and my abilities have been spotted. I'll climb the ladder, hit the top of the company and then you'll moan on about how women and minorities didn't get a fair crack, when actually they were given undue opportunity.
(this is the part where you tell me that you know more about my workplace than I do).

If you had ever been poor, you wouldn't dismiss the importance of money so easily.
To middle-class socialists from first-world countries like you, it means little more than luxuries, to the true poor, its a vital necessity.

...you actually, as a man of 40-years +, consider yourself to be equally hard-done-by to people who worked for nothing and where regularly beaten, raped, abused and dehumanised.
Pitiful. Utterly pitiful.

I agree. Which is why we need a small government that is as limited as possible and infringes on the freedoms of people at little as possible. Cooperation should be voluntary, not forced by failures like you who provide nothing of value.

If its such a great degree, it'll pay its own way in the future and you'll get your money back in your future earnings. Easy
...So spoiled & entitled.
Anyway, I've written plenty about me. I'm 25. I live in London with my parents, I work as a business journalist and didn't get laid till I was 24 and had to take cialis for my first screw. Oh and I got robbed growing up more times than I can remember. I'm honest and I tell people who I am.
And yet I still feel totally comfortable laughing away at you because I'm winning every argument with a complete lack of effort whilst you seethe away
So, c'mon, tell me all about your life. What do you do for a living fella? How old are you? What led you to have these wacky, fringe beliefs that you think ought to be represented in the mainstream media? (just for his lordship!)
