My .02 on an excellent thread.

I think the huge post WW2 GI bill is instructive. Some govt cash to bootstrap yourself can make a huge difference if one does not have the resources. So many returning servicemen were able to achieve things they never would have been able to otherwise. Alternatively, they had to work hard for their undergrad and graduate degrees in much tougher university academic environments than we have now.

In short...both sides can have elements of accuracy but politics these days for some reason must be binary. Opportunity and work ethic both required.
