>> But the upper class isn't causing the lower class to be dysfunctional.

Randall,

You don't think that growing up on the short end of the stick is a primary
cause of dysfunction?


>> Rich, did you grow up with working class people who dropped out of high
school in large numbers? <<

If you'll recall, I went to public schools in the city of Chicago.  I
didn't grow up with a sense of being superior to the people who dropped
out, but rather with a sense of being damn lucky.  I was born pretty damn
smart, and thus I could adapt and ended up at Princeton.  For people less
gifted by God, the difference between being a sorry rich kid who could buy
his way into a mediocre college and being a minimum-wage factory worker was
the economics of his birth.
