Next up...these researchers will do a study that will find that people who don't have any food are generally more hungry than people who do.
I think they are intending to dispel the myth that America is the land of opportunity, that any given smart, hardworking poor person, or at least a large percentage of them, can "rise to the top".

Cue one of the 4%, who, though smart and hard-working, doesn't understand statistics:

"I was poor blablbabla and now I'm rich so that isn't right!"
