Class stratification helps to create not only racist policies but policies that enforce the economic stratification and prevent upward (or downward) mobility.

I believe downward mobility is much simpler for Black Americans (find reference to OTM podcast about Obama to back this up).

How can we create social valves (similar to those in the circulatory system of our legs) that help to push people up and maintain them at certain levels without disadvantaging those who are still at the bottom and who may neither want to move up nor have the ability?

Do we actually need social mobility?

Social mobility and the goods it can purchase can be a useful social motivation.

However, social mobility for the poorest amoungst us would be good, but how much additional marginal good does society derive from continued social mobility of the middle and upper classes continuing to gain wealth and moving up?

Perhaps there's a myth of social mobility confounding the issue with the myth of meritocracy as well.

Certainly the idea of raw capitalism without caps is at play as well. Could providing better governmental oversight of this be a helpful factor for society? (At least American society at the moment? As international competition may drive other broader problems vis-a-vis other pieces of global domination...)
