The ironic thing about it is that it falls for the same trap that it criticizes others for. This is a classic example of having an idea, finding some data that supports the idea, then explaining why it could support it. There's an old stereotype that people in poverty are lazy and unproductive by nature, and this reads a lot like a defense of that idea. This is basically a false dichotomy. It doesn't really offer alternative explanations. I could say that statistics show that wealth is increasingly consolidated every year and the bar for being part of the elite is raised a little each year, including educational requirements, and I could just as easily support my claims with the same data.
