They find themselves in? As you know, many people put themselves in a certain socioeconomic condition. Sometimes it's spread intergenerationally as cultural values - I can safely include the majority of America in this characterization. Never forget that the only true freedom that you have is thought. Someone can put a gun to your head but that was still not change what you think, it may only change how you act. Therefore, people are always responsible to a large degree for their situation. There is unlimited number of options that person could've taken but didn't for a number of reasons. Life is not fair but that doesn't stop someone from changing the conditions of the test. This self victimization way of thinking is a Leftist mechanism by which they create a problem which only the left political brand can solve through social justice, which is the trap for more government and perpetual indentured servitude to the left. That is one of the reasons the left hates Trump so much. Trumps economic policies are freeing these people from government dependence by giving them an economic opportunity of autonomy, rather than remaining subjects of the Democrats.
