What should be done for those who have no opportunity to lift themselves up from poverty? How are they supposed to compete "on merit" with those who have had the luxury of several generations of middle class upbringing and living, access to schools, and family wealth to pursue their interests? Specifically, how are the downtrodden supposed to gain the benefits of society and not suffer all its burdens, given that charity is not a long-term solution?
