Executive summary of prior post:

(1) economic status is only one of many, many variables that correlate with a person's likelihood of 'success' as measured in income or wealth over a lifetime. Other variables outweigh this factor but leftists are preoccupied with economic status as a predictor of future performance.

(2) poor kids have many intangible 'advantages' over rich kids - ambition, lack of fear of failure, practicality, and just plain guts.

(3) education is often trumped by practical experience and drive.

(4) 'advantage' cannot be quantified nor equalized, and government is particularly incapable of both.
