Well I guess it doesn't matter. They can just borrow the startup money from their parents. The Mitt Romney/Ronnie Reagan/Ayn Rand version of America. where everybody starts their own business and 95% of them, literally, starve to death before they wind up with a business that makes them enough to eat. Well at least that would take care of the surplus army of labor.

Or we could try a socialist revolution. At least we could ATTEMPT to put in an economic/political/social system that works for EVERYBODY and not just the ones who are born with it.
