Is well known that personal responsibility is one of the main factors which lead to success.

If you take that away from people, telling them all the bad things that happen to them aren't their fault, they have much worse outcomes.

This indeed is class warfare.

The left need to keep black people poor to get their votes.

Is it?

In the USA the main single factor for a successful career is rich parents.

See perhaps HOW MUCH DOES CHILDHOOD POVERTY AFFECT THE LIFE CHANCES OF CHILDREN?*

To what extent is this modified by "personal responsibility"?

That is a lie. IQ is the most accurate predictor of lifetime success. The uber rich who can afford to give thier kids do nothing jobs are a tiny minority of people. The vast majority have to be smart enough to do the job they have, or successfully manage the companies or investments they have.

It just so happens that IQ is mostly hereditary so low IQ people are poor and produce low IQ kids who will also be poor.

If wealth were the determining factor then Sports stars kids would all be wealthy on thier own. They are not. Lottery winner's kids would be wealthy, they are not. Most lottery winners die broke.

Having money is temporary. Being wealthy is hereditary.

That is a lie.

I'm sometimes mistaken, but I very rarely lie. What is the basis of this accusation?

IQ is the most accurate predictor of lifetime success.

Can you point me to the work on this? I'd be interested in the definition of "lifetime success" and how IQ is separated from confounders such as affluence.

yeah hereditary is the best predictor of lifetime success
