Dumb example. People who choose to ignore an education and/or are lazy
don't have the option to choose a $100K income.

or they could be black, jewish, women, latino, etc.


The list of black, Jewish, female, and Latino millionaires in the US is
huge.

as is the number of poor black, latinos, etc

Minorities have all of the opportunities of non-minorities. At
the rate we are going we may have a black president in our lifetime. We
may even have a female Jewish president. It only takes a family that
cares and, in most cases, a decent education. After that, it's up to
the individual.

no it's not. more right wing kool aid.

the US has virtually the lowest social mobility of any country in the
western world

but you go ahead and masturbate yourself to sleep while listening to
rush tell you everything is OK
