Not so fast vodka breath. I have an answer. It won't happen overnight but it will happen.

First, some parents train their children to be workers instead of takers in order to succeed. This includes breaking the cycle of generations being satisfied with living in slums and getting a gubmint check. Next, being a go-getter will be the new college degree. Or in other words there will be an eventual paradigm shift and employers will look at who you are rather than where you went to school. Eventually, junior will get advice from the guidance counselor on how to get ahead by being smart and yet hard-working instead of shoving everyone into the you need a degree mindset. It may take a while but the pendulum will swing.

Sure there will always be Harvard brats and community organizers with enough money to run for president but in the business world there will be a shift.

Unfortunately, the gap from rich to poor will widen and then the bleeding heart socialist folks will push for the everyone gets a trophy attitude again and we'll go back to taking another lap around the desert for 40 years.
