I would argue that, in some respects, we still have slavery here in the U.S., it’s just not as overt as it once was. A lot of folks with a minimum wage job will attest to this.

Any talk about social mobility is bound to be accused of being “socialistic.”

Yet, the Horatio Alger story, the quintessential American success story, is all ABOUT being socially mobile.
