 I think that what it really comes down to is the education system. We tell our children that they can be anything and then place them in a system that teaches them to conform. To become a worker, not to pursue their ideas in a way that they could contribute more than taxes to our society. Instead we should teach self sufficiency, entrepreneurship, how to properly handle finances, and such. I also should probably mention that I am mainly talking about here in America, I cannot speak on other countries systems just the one I've lived in. I could go on forever about how we could close the gap of #inequality. But this is on of my main ideas that I think about often.
