victor, ok, you know 1 who grew up in poverty. why didn't you answer the second part of the question ;-) i'd argue that the other side of the equation puts the first side in a perspective that shows it is extremely unusual for poverty to turn to riches compared to riches turned to riches. i'd argue that you know this and that is why you didn't mention the second half ;-) the bottom line is that the rich kids are EXTREMELY ADVANTAGED as a group. period. it has nothing to do w/ skill and everything to do w/ choosing your parents right.
