"Well, I for one strongly believe the SAT measures nothing except a person’s ability to take the SAT. "

And I don’t believe a chemistry test measures anything except a person’s ability to solve meaningless little problems designed to tirck and ensare. However that is how professors determine if you have learned the material. Oddly even the Motor Vehicle Administration uses this biased means method for handing out drivers licenses.

Liberals seem annoyed that people don’t merit their merit any more than they merit their health or their good looks or lack thereof. Life is not fair if by fair you mean everyone has an equal proportion of what society values.

BTW you might want to talk to Mike Tyson about economic mobility in the USA. I think he may have some perspective on it.
