It's written on a 4th grade level.
I immediately thought about her embarrassing Princeton thesis, too.
In the United States, in 2014, poverty has nothing at all to do with money. The "rich kids" Moochelle envies aren't rich because they have money. They're rich because they have values.
She is ignoring the role parents play in this (maybe she is afraid Je$$e Jackson will cut her nuts off for talking down to black people); that is the primary fator in determining the course of one’s life. “Rich kids” often don’t know squat; their parents do (as they are the rich ones, not the kids).
