Why? You can't have it.

I remember reading years ago about a Third World family, poor, poor, brought to America and taken to a mall or perhaps a Walmart. The were absolutely overwhelmed. The shear "plenty", the volume of goods, the overflowing shelves, having to navigate aisles with more stacks of "plenty".  It was if they had died and gone beyond heaven.  America, the land of "plenty".
Well, coming from a Third World country is one thing, but there is a significant number of Americans who "can't have it, can't have the plenty". They live here amidst the "plenty", but do not have the means to acquire it.  The poor, the uneducated, the homeless, the list is long.
Some acquire by crime, some acquire a bit through through so called entitlements. Both methods have large issues.  Crime is rather obvious, but our criminal system has failed miserably to redeem criminals, crime recidivism is rampant.  Entitlements are economic entrapment.  The poor are given enough to survive, but not enough to thrive, to improve themselves.
The avenue for success in "having it" is lined with strong personal support systems, great, free educational systems all the way through job skill training and even college degrees.  The "can't have it" people need the ability to earn it and the beneficiary of that earning is America itself.
