Those who are able to climb up the ladder will find ways to pull it up after them, or selectively lower it down to allow their friends, allies, and kin to scramble up. In other words: 'Who says meritocracy says oligarchy.'

  • -- Chris Hayes 克里斯·海耶

那些能够爬上梯子的人会找到办法把梯子拉上去,或者有选择地把梯子放低,让他们的朋友、盟友和亲属爬上去。换句话说,谁说精英统治就是寡头统治。
