"Most people remain as rich (or as poor) as their parents"

"How much money do you make? It may have less to do with how hard you
work and a lot to do with how much your father makes, a new study shows.

The idea that anyone can own their own home and do better financially
than the previous generation with the right amount of hard work has long
been central to Americans’ self-perception. But achieving those goals
may be more difficult than previously thought, according to a study
released Monday by New York University sociology professor Michael Hout.
The research showed that workers in the U.S. are much more likely to
remain in the same social class as their parents than workers in other
countries."

Land of the free.

Pooh, does this mean taht there is less social mobility in the classless
land of the free than there is in the remains of the class ridden
British Empire?



"You think you're so clever and classless and free but you're still
****ing peasants as far as I can see."

Lenin. Oops, Lennon.
