We're talking about people that are scraping to make ends meet. Not philosophy majors with a keen ability on self-improvement problem solving.
Are all schools / educational systems made equal? No? Then right there it isn't about "how hard you work". 4 Year olds don't have the capacity to sit back and evaluate their social status and map out their rise to the 1%.

This is the other thing. Worry about what you can control. Who has a greater ability to effect some sort of social change? Murray Edwards or me?
