"Can you pay me to roll for you" ?
"Can you pay me to roll for you" was something that i heard someone in my class ask to a rick person. Confused? We played monopoly in class and everyone had their own set of rules. One person was the richest of the rich, another person was the lowest of the low, and everyone else was in between. I was the second richest person so i was pretty well off. One of the boys on my team was running low on money so he asked the richest person, "Can you pay me to roll the dice for you?" It shows that people will really do anything for money. We learned that the richest people stay rich, and the poorer people stay poor. The ones in the middle have the most opportunity to move up, or down, on the social class ladder. It's not right that people can't just work as hard and not make the same amount of money. Social Mobility makes it easier for people to move up and down in their class in some ways, but very difficult, and almost impossible, in others. If your parents have money, it's most likely that you grew up being able to get whatever you wanted, but what happens when your parents aren't there to support you and give you all the money you want? You're screwed. You need money to make money.
