Ha, he's funny.

In his excellent paper on income mobility in the U.S. <http://www.americanprogress.org/atf/cf/{E9245FE4-9A2B-43C7-A521-5D6FF2E06E03}/HERTZ_MOBILITY_ANALYSIS.PDF>, Tom Hertz shows that the children of Baptist parents have the worst record on upward mobility of any major religious group. Maybe they should get some book learning and stop beating up immigrants with the flag.
