What I mean is that your proof changed - we are discussing factors involved in acquiring large wages - and as you've described the study, it demonstrates that IQ is a strong factor in acquiring more wages, but not large wages.

In other words, the evidence you brought does not relate to the discussion.

I don't think that getting poor people and rich people together for block parties regularly is going to equalize economic differences (that's a caricature, of course). It would have to be a massive, fundamental environmental intervention (like adoption). Even in such a case, I think class differences would eventually emerge again.
There is no solution to getting rich and poor to socialize - but assuredly, that is one of the fundamental reasons the classes remain apart.
