The data generally shows that poor smart people do well and move up. Wealthier dumb people generally don't do as well and move down. The lack of inter-generation mobility looks very different when you correct for IQ.

Please show. I don't believe this is actually true, except at the very extreme ends of IQ. I know that a number of social mobility studies adjust for IQ.
