Maybe you need to read something other than left wing talking points.

 

When you first visit the US and go slightly off the tourist track, the amount of poverty is actually shocking, I have never seen so many homeless people around.

 

On social mobility, just google some sources. I know it doesn't reflect the "American Dream'. In fact just look at the Jaguars, Tony Khan is the perfect example of how it pays to be born into money and connections. You think he's in any position like that otherwise at his age? Highly unlikely.

 

My household income is actually in the top 5% for Australia, but I don't see the need for the poor end of the spectrum to work for poverty wages just so I can keep a bit more of my money when buying goods and services. I was lucky to be born into a good situation, I wouldn't have a masters degree/ professional qualifications now if my early education had been neglected or lived in the chaos some kids grow up in.
