Reply #5: great analysis, I'm on board with you and Clark on this even though.. [View All]

my perspective is different.

I want to emphasize I believe in equality of opportunity (I'm a rags to riches story myself, mostly because of public schools and universities). Equality of outcome is a different matter and I believe in making the system as fair as possible to all elements of society.

I agree with you and Wes.

I guess because I see classism as being timeless, I don't see it as pressing. Perhaps Clark's alarms have been triggered because it is harder to make a living these days compared to 30 years ago, despite and overall increase in societal wealth (sequestered further by the rich). Wes kinda reminds me of FDR sometimes I think.
