A society that allows that kind of upward economic mobility, is free. It cannot be called otherwise. But it would be better not to have powerful people making decisions in their own best interests, rather than the collective best interest.
Those Good Asians, statistically all second generation immigrants do better than native born, not just Asians.

The powerful people currently own the corporations and control the Congress and our government. All you had to do to see that is watch the Senate hearings with Big Pharma.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
