What the hell does being born poor matter? I was in college with a guy from Georgia (former USSR territory) and he pledge our fraternity, worked 35 hours a week, graduated in 3.5 years with 2 degrees (accounting and logistics), got a full time job, became manager in 2 year, payed for his parents to move to the US, pays for his sisters college expenses, etc He makes a shit ton of money...but he must have been full of it and just inherited his weatlh. As punter just told us, if your wealthy your lucky and inherited it.
The rich do have some serious advantages. They go to better schools (not always on merit) and their social circle is richer (and networking is the #1 factor in getting jobs or finding opportunities)
Now getting back to topic, I truly belive if that money that goes to the lower 95% would rather go to the top 5% most of the Reps would have voted for the bill, no matter the amount of pork in it

punter, i dont listen to rush. i have this thing, its called a job. maybe you can look into it. also, i dont understand why you and the rest of the hard-core extreme lefties bash him so much. you (and the rest of the left) identify with with so closely that the resemblances are uncanny. slightly overweight, drug abusing, viagara popping, loudmouths who want to avoid taxes and think that their word is gospel. sound familiar?
you're wrong (again). The only people in India and most of Asia who can afford the cost of living in the US, never mind Medical School, are from the wealthiest echelons of their society.
Explain to me about class mobility. There is lots of empirical evidence you can use to make your point, rather than the meager anecdote. I think, though, that you'll be surprised to find that those who have the money in the U.S. tend to keep it and those without it tend to stay without it, despite how long, how much, or how hard they work. You'll probably also be surprised to learn that the working classes in Canada, the UK, France, and Germany are more likely to move up in class than their American counterparts. But go find the data for yourself. I dare you.
