Scott, you altered your wife's relationship to the labor market -- good for you -- but you did not alter the labor market. External circumstances do exist. Your reactions to them may be under your control, but that doesn't mean you control all circumstances. To take an extreme example: As an American citizen, you have Equality under the law (in theory) Protection from violence (more or less) Freedom of association Freedom of movement Freedom of speech Freedom of occupation Access to public services, including public education, and roads and transportation If you had been born a French peasant in the year 1000, you would have not had any of these freedoms. You would have been bound to the land and to your lord's service. Occasionally a particularly clever boy could have entered the church to better himself. Do you still say that success=hard work for the French peasant as much as for the American citizen? And if not, why is it so hard to admit that the children of migrant laborers face external circumstances that make success much harder to achieve for them than it was for you and me?
