so you'd be good in the radically class stratified context that policies based on your way of thinking has created. the only flaw in your argument, really, is that you have a pollyanna view of how class works. you seem to actually believe this whole bootstrappy horatio alger thing. that's hopelessly naive. but it's an enabling naivete for folk who think as you do, because it allows you to see in class stratification a reflection of virtue. but that's absurd.
it also enables your "be a dick" approach to questions like poverty. the poor are poor because they deserve it.
at least you don't shy away from just how ugly your political worldview is.
and that i have to hand you.
i'm just glad you are nowhere near power
(none of us are. we're posting here. q.e.d.)
