    So shouldn't we try to level the field as much as possible?

    Leveling the field sounds good but in general it not only lifts the lower end it also lowers the high end. If leveling the playing field so that responsible parents are somehow punished relative to irresponsible ones then I say the answer is "no".

    It's been many a decade since I sat in a grammar class, one thing certain. You're hardly relevant but that too is OK.

    Congratulations. That's as close as anyone has ever been to getting Dsummoner to acknowledge that the social and economic strata into which you are born has a great deal to do with your success and advancement in life.

    On what the solutions are that are being posited. For example, 'no' to extorting the funds of others to create a vast enabling and entrapping sociopolitical apparatus that rewards the crapulent breeding practices of the domestic poor.

    Responsibility in breeding should be the expected norm ubiquitously rather than just for the middle and upper classes. That being said, foreigners that immigrate to the US and start out in the lower socioeconomic classes generally (excluding those that are part and parcel of wholesale importation to join the useless domestic poor on the dole) do a far better job of exhibiting responsibility than do the useless 'government is going to pay for it' on the dole poor.
