Very few people become highly successful. That has always been true. It will always be true. Small minded people who think that is an excuse to not try deserve what they get.

None of what you said changes the fact that more of this nation's resources are falling into the hands of the very rich every year. The rich are getting richer at the expense of the middle class and the poor. Why does that not bother you?

"You need money to fuel upwardly mobile moves........if the rich are controlling a lot of the money, it can't happen."

Read a few dozen success books. many deal with the problems of lack of capital either directly or indirectly. Do you know how Warren Buffet got the capital to start? He got several doctors and such to give him $10,000 each. The poor saps who never sold any are now Billionaires. Oops, none of them had that much confidence and restraint. There are more honest ways to get capital than you could imagine.


And yet, most people have to inherit it to become rich or richer.
