Some poor family in Chicago's problems are not caused by the 1%. They're caused by unstable family situations and a lack of emphasis on education. Social mobility is the problem of the person who wants to be upwardly mobile. And if a person commits to that, it's going to be very hard for them to be denied.

But if you want to be a person that comes home from a 15/hour job, smokes a bowl, eats some Raman noodles and watches Archer, then yeah. It's going to be tough to move up. The great fallacy here is that somehow it's your right to move up the social and economic ladder. It's not. You have the ability to, but if you're not going to put the time in to learning the skills required for it, you're going to languish at the bottom and bitch about the guy from Dragon's Den.
