Yeah, so? "Affirmative action" (I call it society's obligation to care for the unfortunate) for blind, crippled, veterans, mentally retarded, etc is also unlikely to lead to an economic success.
Why don't we just round up all the "burdens" on smart, successful, beautiful people and kill them. They're limiting society's economic success! And as we all know money is the most important consideration in any decision.
