The future of US is being dented like never before.\u00a0 It is becoming harder and harder for lower income kids to get better educated than that more affluent.<\/p>\n

This is the beginning of a caste system of its own kind, where the kid of a highly educated \/ well to do couple will be an educated or at least well to do, while the kids of the blue collar will remain blue collar workers.<\/p>\n
