There's no rule of and plenty of examples of people rising from poverty or falling from privilege. Do you really think it's a political system that's created todays society or the people in it.
What do you personally do to help the 'underclass'?

What do you personally do to help the 'underclass'?
De-construct the systems that perpetuates privilege, and strengthen the ones that provide everyone with equal access.
What's important isn't taking from the rich and destroying them, but ensuring that the opportunities they get are available to all. Today they are not. If you happen to be born a poor black female in the UK today, there's still no way that you are going to have the same opportunities as a male, as a girl that is white, as someone born wealthy.
The stories of those who overcame their circumstances and managed to do better for themselves than was predicted are what they unfortunately are: isolated examples.
Going back to my first line, this is why universal healthcare and access to social housing is also crucial. A child living in a mouldy and damp council flat, always ill, unable to attend school because of illness... that child has a disadvantage from so early on. Everything is against that child from an early age. I know, I was that child.

What is fair about a political system that has given rise to an elite and an underclass?
Imposed government from afar is colonial rule.
Anything that can unite George Galloway, Nigel Fruitcake and the Orange Order automatically repels me.
