People with money will always have it easier and have the advantage over those that don't. America is no different than any other country.

The thing is in this country you have a much better chance than anywhere else in the world to do well if you work hard and work smart. No one is guaranteed anything, you could work very hard all your life and still end up in a so so position.

However if you do work hard and smart you have a very low chance of being in poverty and will most likely reach mid to upper middle class. Reaching the upper 1% as they show in this doc usually only happens when you are talking actual real "wealth" not a few million a year income but 10s of million or more. This is usually reserved to people whom are born into that money, not people that earned it in a life time.
