my views on how the american goverment traps lower class citizens.

Chrissi, there are two main problems with some of what you said

Firstly, you seem to be holding people hostage to the actions of others. You do this once when you state that the OP can better his fortunes if only his mother improves herself. You do it again when you say that even smart people should be forced to attend school because of the benefits of schooling to less intelligent people.

Secondly, you state categorically that learning is good without providing a basis for it. To avoid confusion, nothing can be good in and of itself. All good is subjective. Hence if there exist individuals who do not desire education, education is not good for them.
