Partially true, but ignores the fact the economy and one's rewards from it, is a game. Your success is largely based on your talent in playing, and some will inevitably do better than others. But, that game also has rules that bias those already advantaged.
Politicians are the public face of this, and people realize that those who make the laws can be bought by powerful interests - they know - but believe they can't do anyting about it.
There is some unfair hatred of rich and the elite - that does exist - but there is also a resentment that comes from the realization that the promise of the "American dream" and the level playing field is not exactly that.
That's not a concern to be waived away in the press by the world's richest men, but directly addressed which will be difficult, because you have to acknowledge the problem of the bias (not level field) while simultaneously trying to get rid of the victim mentality which also plays a factor with those who are losing.
