I can agree with that - but we're not just talking about the "day after" they get out of high-school. I'm still going back to the original presentation: that there's nobody (not even one person) that has gotten a diploma, failed to have a child out of wedlock and is not an addict living below the poverty level. I just don't think that's true. If we change the premise to be "at some point anybody that meets these criteria could live above the poverty level" then I would agree with the conclusion: anybody that can graduate high-school can perform above the poverty level - but only if they keep those levels of facilities.
