Five myths about poverty
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlo...05a_story.html


I see flaws: "And what about rising from rags to riches? In the United
States, 1 in 25 children raised in the bottom quintile of the income
distribution are able to climb to the top quintile, while the figure in
Denmark is nearly 1 out of 6. In our popular rhetoric, we celebrate the
success of that single individual to the exclusion of the other 24."


I suspect our bottom quintile is far lower than theirs. I bet the
poorest of kids in Denmark still values going to school and doesn't
think drug slinging is a viable career.
