Sorry but experience in life, not in listening to what others say life
is, shows me a very different story.

Many of the poor of the past have been able to rise out of their
situations.  That is hardly immobile.

Although i am sure the Captains of Industry have been painted as evil
capitalists to you, you will find that most of them, not all, had very
poor childhoods.

For an example of one who is not considered one of the captains of
industry, the original Marriot began by selling hot dogs on the
streets of New York City.  His enterprise grew a bit.

But all the sociologist types continually harp on how once poor,
always poor, throughout the succeeding generations.

Sorry, it just ain't so.
