The system IS unfair. It's not because some individuals (cherry-picked? Who knows?) make it that it means that anybody can. In other countries, such as Canada for example, social mobility (i.e. coming from a poor background and 'making it') is much higher. Might be even higher elsewhere too. That is IMHO, a much better indicator of a decent system than rationalizations as to why you have a few ultra-billionaires and millions of homeless.

I work 6 days a week, and have plenty of money. My neighbor, born into a rich family but cut off from the money, does the occasional odd job, preferring to sleep and surf. He is always whining about being broke. See a correlation?
