Inequality has made upward mobility difficult. Equality would make upward mobility impossible. Either way, more and more Americans will get screwed.

« N’être pas republicain à vingt ans est preuve d’un manque de coeur ; l’être après trente ans est preuve d’un manque de tête. »
“Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.”
-François Guizot (1787-1874)« N’être pas socialiste à vingt ans est preuve d’un manque de coeur ; l’être après trente ans est preuve d’un manque de tête. »
“Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.”
-Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929)“A recent Pew Research Center poll found that for the first time more people under the age of thirty view socialism positively than view capitalism positively-49 to 46 percent-although what they meant by socialism was not clearly defined.”
-Michael Greenberg (1952-?)
