Yet you couldn’t argue against it?

Is it easier for people born into wealth as far as opportunities? Of course. But that doesn’t mean those opportunities don’t exist for everyone. This isn’t a “pull up the bootstraps” speech. It’s realizing that opportunities, despite different or even more difficult do exist for everyone.

I would argue that people not born into wealth are more driven, therefore sometimes succeed. Where preppy rich kids, can just choose not to work.

It's not that I couldn't argue against it, it's that I chose not to argue against it. For the same reason I don't argue against flat-earthers.

I thought they were all lazy moochers and that's why they're not rich?

Now who is using hyperbole to push propaganda? You’re better than this.

Of course I can. First, give me a single piece of evidence that Democrats actually want all people to be on government assistance to keep them under control (note: not your opinion, but actual evidence).

I think “lazy moochers” exist in all classes of society. I’ve met wealthy lazy moochers. I’ve met poor lazy moochers. They are in the minority in all classes though.

I have. You'll have to cite the part where it says that Democrats want to keep everyone under control.

Also, as an aside, it's bizarre that your evidence is a Bill that 0 Democrats voted for in the Senate lol

OK, but how does that mean Democrats want to keep everyone under control?
