> 'You have the opportunity to succeed greatly, and be rewarded extremely well, but this requires financial resources at birth

This is the opposite of financial mobility.

No, it is not. The opposite would be that it requires financial resources of the class you want to be part of to be part of a class.

Which wasn't what I (or the report) said: the idea is that it takes some level of financial resources as a prerequisite for a chance at top-level success.

Yes yes, class mobility but only for the already wealthy. Tell me more.

Which part of the report do you see as equating "financial resources" (my words) with "wealthy" (your words)?
