That's the reason for the qualifier "by and large." Yes, it is possible, but not equally achievable for all people in poverty be it due to individual circumstance or lack of personal ability. I'm quite happy for your parents and I'm sure they must have worked hard to find success. But the system would not allow for the underclass as a whole to find a way out of poverty at the same time. The only way that can happen is to change the system.
