This is an idiotic statement. And a bunch of old rich people died and are no longer in the top 1%. They were replaced by the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world. A proportional assessment is a proportional assessment. And I assure you Mark Zuckerberg's parents were nowhere near the bottom 20%. This isn't a rags to riches story, as most Republicans would like us to believe (not in Zuckerbergs case). Oh yeah, work hard, and you TOO will be a multi-millionaire. Bull****. Mark Zuckerberg was rich all of his life, comparatively speaking. He probably is the product of 2 educated parents, private or top-notch public schools, and Harvard. It doesn't hurt that he stole a few people's ideas along the way.

Good for him. But mobility in this country isn't what it once was, despite your beliefs.

I didn't say that Zuckerberg was in the bottom 20%. But ok... replace Zuckerberg with, Oprah Winfrey... she was...
