Because it's not even remotely true. I've been homeless, divorced twice, kicked out of a school under suspicion of crime, driven nearly insane at one point, desperate enough to embezzle cash from a retail employer 21 years ago, guilty of arson when I was teenager. I still have a perfectly good job that puts me in a higher pay echelon than I ever would have imagined at one time in my life, even a top-secret clearance. I owned my past mistakes, cleaned up, and am entrusted with state secrets. America is the land of second chances. Look at our last two presidents. Perennial fuck ups, and depending on your party, at least one of them is probably a criminal.
