Number 2 asks to describe the fallacies that are associated with this statement: "I don't believe these statistics showing that economic opportunity for most Americans has declined since the 1970's. my parents worked their way out of poverty into the middle class, so anybody can"
One can find a hasty generalization in it, because since the child saw their parents overcome poverty, they created a generalization in their mind. A genetic fallacy relates the family because the child's parents brought them up to believe a statement. Plain folks is somewhat related to this statement too, in the manner that we cannot assume that they are a public official, but they can be of wealth. The child may believe that the parents are elitists compared to other, i.e. plain folks.
