Summary

In this episode, I’m starting a new two-part series—this time, I’m arguing the other side. Last time, I told you why I believe the little guy can still make it in America. Now, I’m giving you the reasons why some people say the little guy can’t make it—and why some of those reasons actually make sense. I don’t agree with them, but I want you to hear both sides.
