That. And more generally, there's almost no chance to change your life for the better. Rich people there are those who became rich before this system was put in place (before WWII that is, sometimes in the XIX century or before), and then just pass the wealth down the generations. Or those who immigrated having earned (or stolen) the wealth abroad. For others, there's really no hope of breaking out of endless toil for mediocre wage. And yes, on the flip side, it's really hard to fall through the cracks completely, but that's what it is: to prevent people from losing, we also need to prevent them from winning - you can't have one without the other. And, collectively, they just stagnate. There's no progress at all in any side of life, while America still enjoys relatively quick - even if very unevenly distributed - economic growth.
