But we as Americans love that myth, because we think it can (and eventually will) happen to us as well. When you see working class people support politicians and policies that create benefits only for the wealthy, this is why.

You can be born dirt poor and be a billionaire by the end of your life. It's very unlikely, but it is possible. What's not possible is to do it all by yourself, or without a large amount of support from society at large.
