Kinda puts a lie to the idea that wealth redistribution diminishes opportunity to better oneself, eh?
Also, most tellingly:
"Even by measures of relative mobility, Middle America remains fluid. About 36 percent of Americans raised in the middle fifth move up as adults, while 23 percent stay on the same rung and 41 percent move down, according to Pew research. The “stickiness†appears at the top and bottom, as affluent families transmit their advantages and poor families stay trapped."

Fact: The leading cause of being poor is having poor parents.
Libtards - "Here's an idea. Let's pay poor people to have children."
Libtards later - "ZOMG, why are there so many poor people?"

This is why we need to shift tax burdens so poor people get less and pay more and rich people pay less!
