The claim is not that people do not move up social classes, it is that people do not move up social classes as often. Attributing one single cause to income immobility is a perilous path to tread on, there are heaps and piles of factors - bad decision making is one of them. I really don't think it is the main cause though. If you born in a lower class, it is irrefutable that the odds are stacked immeasurably against you and any children you might have, a perpetuation known as the Poverty Cycle. Denying the existence of the poverty cycle and blaming poverty solely on the working classes' decision-making is (a) wrong (b) condescending.
Having children out of wedlock is not necessarily a bad thing, though I do think it should be discouraged. It does place more financial strain on the (single?) parent(s?) but it is not always a factor which sinks families economically. There is also adoption, birth control and abortion.
Dropping out of high school isn't a particularly wise idea, I'll give you that.
Can't really defend crime either.
