Just been watching the programmes on Margaret Thatcher. In theory it would be wonderful if we were all completely responsible for our progress in life but there are so many factors at play. It depends on the family we are born into and the economic status/class of that family and their attitude to education. It depends on if we have experienced trauma or not, it depends on our mental and physical health. It depends on our passions, hobbies and interests. If we start a business , how it will do depnds on supply and demand and what other people want. It is not always a given that how hard we work is oin proportion to our finincial success. True, there are many things that we can be responsible for but I have had several set backs that weren't 100% my fault. So I can't completely agree. I think complete state dependancy isn't right either but there is a middle ground.
