I think the issue some opposing posters have is not that they don't want to see mobility and opportunities for lower income families, but that the 'solutions' being proposed seem to focus more on punishing upper class families as a sort of means of leveling the playing field...
What are the proposed solutions? Is an increased inheritance tax intended to fund better public schools? Provide $10 daycare so families can afford to have dual incomes (which can create its own issues)?

This is my beef. The government has no shortage of money. Its not like they even pretend to run a balanced budget. They could fund schools more if they wanted/if the voters wanted.
Acting like we need a revenue source and that the restrictive reason we dont fund these things is disingenious
So the argument comes down to bring the top level down instead of the bottom level up.
No society betters itself with that mantra
