American's believe in not the right to equality but the right to opportunity. This means not everyone should be equal in social class and wealth. This would be Socialism. We believe in opportunity to work harder to achieve more than our neighbors. This may seem harsh, but it is what makes this country so great. However, if you are born into a family t hat has this advantage already, you are already ahead and vice versa with poorer people. However, these people born on the bottom have the ability and opportunity to work harder. Some cases its harder than others, like in the story of Tammy. She has started way too late in her life to completely change things. Her son has the right idea though. He is going to dress, act, and try harder to fit in with the next higher class and achieve more for himself. Unlike his mother he has dreams and aspirations that he wants to achieve he no longer wants to be at the bottom of the social ladder.
