Affirmative action can not fix this situation as well as higher taxes and better education.

I think all american citizens in the top 5% income bracket should pay an extra 10 % in taxes. Let face it, they will still be insanely rich, and the government will have more money to speand on education ( since all their other money goes on fighting stupid wars)
I think everyone in America has an opportunity to better themselves with hard work. There are plenty of free grants in America to help those in low incomes. There are a lot of people In America who have bettered themselves by taking advantage of programs and hard work.

I think wars are stupid also. We all would be better off if those who hate America would find something useful to do with their time instead of trying to hurt us.
