- sokoloff 5y agoI thought we were discussing "millionaires and billionaires", not just billionaires.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI didn't introduce those terms here. I'm speaking of the 'wealthy elite', not some arbitrary dollar figure cut off. The point is that 'person born to wealthy parents continues to be wealthy' is still a common story and 'person born in rags becomes a billionaire' is non-existent. We are fed a narrative about hard work and earning, but the people at the top largely only got there by being born from the right womb.
