>>Education doesn't lead to social mobility, redistribution of wealth does.

Two random thoughts:

Education is good for everybody - the poor may perhaps not gain on the rich, but their quality of life will be better than their similarly poor parents.

Severe redistribution of wealth can have second-order effects : people stop working and producing if too much of their labor is taken from them.
