15. That's why you fix the other facets to help them succeed.

Bush I talked about leveling the playing field. He was full of shit of course but the concept of making it just as easy for the ghetto kid or the Appalachian "hillbilly" to go to Harvard as it does Johnny Blue-blood is not an impossibility if the educational system had the bucks and support that it needed.

It's not an impossibility with enough resources.

Honestly, you can't fix poverty by giving folks a ton of money...that would disastrous.

Actually having a net to prevent folks from falling into poverty and a helping hand to make sure they can climb out are the ways.
