It is beside the point anyway, which is that social and economic disparities do not change on their own. They are in a sense, locked in place by positive feedback mechanisms The point is simply that this is not true. There is a great deal of class mobility in the US. Which is not to say the children of the poor have every advantage of the children of richer parents but the wealth and social class in the US are anything but static. ___________________ "1. Born 8 July 1839 in Richford, New York about midway between Binghamton and Ithaca. His father, William Avery Rockefeller, was a "pitch man" -- a "Doctor" who claimed he could cure cancers and charged up to $25 a treatment. He was gone for months at a time traveling around the West from town to town and would return to wherever the family was living with substantial sums of cash. His mother, Eliza Davison Rockefeller, was very religious and very disciplined. She taught John D. to work, to save, and to give to charities." voteview.uh.edu
