I usually wouldn't comment on this, but I can't look past that "un-American". You guys _do_ realize there is, and through the entire history of the USA has been, a fully-fledged industrial aristocracy in place? Just because you don't call them "Sir" but landlord, investor or entrepreneur doesn't change a single thing. Just look at the history of rich ranch owners... Humans are the same, everywhere.

How is that consistent with the fact that the five largest US corporations by market cap (Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet and Facebook) have not been passed on to offspring and were not started by descendents of the industrial elite of the country? I agree that social mobility is lacking by in many ways, but the result is clearly not a fully-fledged industrial aristocracy.
