That will only happen if you invest in it. My son's mother was on welfare
and because she got the support she needed she was able to get out of it,
get a job teaching school and is now about to retire. All the women I knew
in the 80's who were on some sort of social safety net have all graduated.
Why? Because they were supported in their time of need.

I think you have this problem backwards because you think you should have a
say. Here's a flash. It isn't about you.
