Anyways, no need to bicker about this, my point is that this upwards social mobility is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve. Property has historically been the primary way North Americans acquire wealth, which really isn't an option for most any more. Starting a business has never been more difficult with the rising costs of rent and labour.
