Not at all my lack of nuanced reading bredren. No where do I imply poor people can't be successful. In fact we all know plenty of poor people that become successful. And I acknowledged that it can be done if they are smart and/or disciplined.
But you seem to be missing my point. If we lived in a meritocracy that did did not have discriminatory policies, then it wouldn't matter if your parents are wealthy, you'd be able to become successful and wealthy despite your economic background.
But that's not the country we live in, we live in a country where economic background is the best indicator of performance on standardize test. That ain't right.
