Why not it works in my family, my father grew up in the ghettos of NYC without a father of his own, older brother shot dead in the street when he was 10. Turned himself into a electrical engineer, married, raised 4 kids, retired well, 3 of his 4 college educated right from high school. I'm the one without a college degree, but make a hell of a money than my dad ever did. My kids are all college educated and my youngest son just might turn into a multi-millionaire prior to age 40 at the rate he is going.

It is a logical but forbidden conclusion from the fact that those who inherit their loot are powerful enough to determine what kind of useless GreedHead zombie can rise above the class he was born in.
