c'mon roachboy, that's not even remotely accurate. the amount of social mobility people achieve even within their own lifetimes is astounding in this country, and virtually unique. The notion of lumping this system where people can start over as many times as they want, with a system of hereditary nobility is batty.
Just as an example: my grandfather arrived in this country in 1914 with zero to his name. He worked in a sweatshop for a few years and eventually found a location where he could open up a store, and did. That little store supported his family and, after he died and my father took it over, my family. It put their three kids through school. And this story of coming up into the middle class is not even remotely unique: as you know, millions of people are clamoring to get into this country - not, I will note, into places like Cuba and Venezuela. There's a good reason why: they have the liberty to make their own fortune here, more than in most other places.
Only someone complacent from prosperity and with the luxury to contemplate injustices (real or imagined) could come up with the sort of stuff you guys are coming up with.
