It always pays off to be an elite. It's just even better now than it was in the 1950s-1970s.

- kamaal 14y ago>>It always pays off to be an elite. Sure it does. But the point is to become an elite you first need to do something to get there. Its not like a lottery selects a few people and just gives them money. Its their money and earn it. Therefore even the distinction of elite. They earn it, so they get it. Just like everybody else can.
