>I do. For the most part, class mobility is alive and well here in America.

No, it really isn't.

>It's also the kind of myth that sells socialism and communism. "You will never earn six figures, nor will your kids, nor will your kids kids, so why even try? Instead, make those billionaires pay their 'fair share.'"

>Voila, you've raised three generations of American citizens who will forever depend on government handouts.

No, you use the government's resources from taxpayers to try to make it so that those citizens can be more likely to succeed.

A kid who doesn't worry about where his next meal is coming from is of course more likely to succeed in school than one whose parents can't feed him.
