> I don't mean to rant here but this pisses me off so much. Our entire society is constructed around a set of assumptions about people who are at least some level of educated, with decent english literacy, who have the time and energy to dedicate to managing these various things, and yeah, if you're that theoretical person, you can probably do quite well for yourself in the United States. But what if you aren't?

Not to be overly cynical, but I believe this is a feature, not a bug. I don't believe it's isolated to any one political ideology though. The system seems to rely on a perpetual underclass, and if you are slightly outside the norm or deficient, the system tends to use you as mulch for the uber wealthy's private jet funds.
