【题目】We are not who we think we are.

The American self-image is spread with the golden glow of opportunityWe think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibilitynot so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable—a place where brainsenergy and ambition are what countsnot the circumstances of one's birth.

The Economic Mobility Projectan ambitious research led by Pew Charitable Trustslooked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over timecomparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000sHere is the finding: "The 'rags to riches' story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main StreetOnly 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top.

That is rightjust 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom of the study samplein terms of incomewere able to bootstrap their way into the topMeanwhilean incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest are still stuck at the bottomhaving been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder.

It is noted that even in Britain---a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound class system-children who are born poor have a better chance of moving upWhen the studies were releasedmost reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly lessin inflation-adjusted dollarsthan did their parents.

One of the studies indicatesin factthat most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor forceThis is much less true for African-Americans.

The picture that emerges from all the quintilescorrelations and percentages is of a nation in whichoverall"the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one"as one of the studies notes.

The median income of the families in the sample group was $55600 in the late 1960s; their children's median family income was measured at $71900Howeverthis rising tide has not lifted all boats equallyThe rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor.

Even more troubling is that our nation of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the dataAmericans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs of the ladderbut there is "stickiness at the ends" —four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poorand four out of ten who are born rich will stay rich.
