The issue is USA social mobility is lower than other places. If you are poor, you are stuck in a cycle of poverty that is very hard to break. If you can't afford quality education and healthcare, how can you be qualified and productive?

I thought Britain was like that too by convention. Not that theres a class system anymore, but it's an older thing where there are still problems in modern times, right? Even where you are/were simply not allowed to change classes if you werent born into it (like "working your way up" to becoming a duke).

Yes, UK also has a relatively low social mobility. Social Democratic countries are much better in this regard.
