Gae, then enlighten me, because I clearly laid out how it does fuel societal discrimination. Do you think practicing affirmative action, as practiced, does't fuel race wars?
Jor, time and time again, better is very subjective. While we can all agree that money might make us happy, it doesn't prove itself out irl.
The least-gifted children of high-income parents graduate from college at higher rates than the most-gifted children of low-income parents, might very well be true. That doesn't make them more successful or happier. Nor does a college degree equate to more intelligent (emotionally or intellectually).
Now if you're equating college degrees with privilege then it is perfectly logical why the least-gifted children of high-income parents graduate from college at higher rates than the most-gifted children of low-income parents. So give the poor more money and the opportunity to spend it and see what they prioritize with it.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
