Even if some or all of the items on this list are true, to present them as obvious and unquestionable, without any supporting evidence, belays a shocking amount of arrogance that I'm surprised and embarrassed the HN community has deemed worthy to merit with top comment status.

It's a conversation, not an essay.

Why not smash one of the points with data if you think that is the way that everything should proceed?

Especially when the article was mostly about social mobility, rather than poverty per se.

This list isn't really anything different than your standard Democratic talking points and doesn't even directly relate to the article. Not sure what it's doing as a top comment here.
