      @HeerJeet @politicalwire you actually disagree with the statement?

      Replying to @SevenSharpNine

      @SevenSharpNine @politicalwire Yep. Inequality is transmitted across generations (see Piketty) and thus not a function of hard work.

      @HeerJeet @SevenSharpNine @politicalwire Leaving "hard work" from the function assumes that no "hard working" traits are inheritable.

      @anaaronfreeman @SevenSharpNine Do you guys actually think the working poor don't work hard? Try being a nanny!

          @HeerJeet @SevenSharpNine No. I've read the Piketty (& others) and agree mobility is low for primarily systemic reasons.

          @HeerJeet @anaaronfreeman @SevenSharpNine & even ppl who work extra hrs to start business or get educated get less benefit than they should.

          @HeerJeet @SevenSharpNine I'm saying "inequality occurs because" shouldn't be answered with a single answer. Too many factors for causality.

          @anaaronfreeman @SevenSharpNine Agree there are many answers but "works harder" (for reasons indicated) isn't explanatory.

          @HeerJeet @SevenSharpNine My brother has worked harder than me all his life. Similar SAT scores. Same parents. Guess who has a nicer house?
