Talented Great But NO MONEY - No Potential

Toronto teen William Leathers was thrilled earlier this year when he received his acceptance letter to the prestigious Julliard School in New York. Leathers is one of only three students accepted in Julliard's trumpet program. There was just one slight problem, though. Given the stature of Julliard in the music world fees don't come cheap; only a little matter of US$91,000 dollars.

 Not to be stymied Leathers took to crowdfunding and by May 2 had raised $80,000. Some may say he is well on the road to making his dream reality, but nevertheless, it does hammer home how everything has to be bought and paid for under capitalism. 

Think how many people talented in so many ways never realize their full potential.
