This isn't lucky, but besides that, no, I'm not happy when a very small percentage of our population "gets lucky". We should have 80% of this country be able to afford a home, a vehicle, have affordable healthcare, and a minimum of 4 weeks vacation in the modern 21st century.

Everything else is just a smoke screen to make "your lucky existence" justified compared to the masses who did nothing wrong except be born into this system.

Why only 80%? Why not 100%?

Assuming by country you mean the US, just being born there is already incredible luck. I have no idea what you're talking about really, there will always be people with less "luck". I work very hard, consider myself very lucky in general, but also unlucky in some aspects. And hell, I can't afford a home either, but I'm okay with that because I don't expect society to hand me one.
