Ah, the myth of the American Dream and all its self-made billionaires! https://inequality.org/research/selfmad ... ting-rich/
Good grief. Do you really believe the socialist nonsense propagated by the Institute for Policy Studies? They hate anyone who actually succeeds and makes something of themselves.

You might be interested to know that most of the millionaires I know were expats or never considered themselves, "American." Only those who know they are not competent enough to achieve anything of real value in their lives think of success as a, "dream."

... the socialist nonsense propagated by the Institute for Policy Studies?

You do realise that that isn't a refutation of anything? It's just an expression of your right-wing prejudice. Facts don't cease to be facts just because you consider them to have come from "the other side".
"The latest top 400", Forbes pronounced last week, “instills confidence that the American dream is still very much alive.” ... 35 percent of the Forbes 400 come from [poor to middle-class circumstances]. [My emphasis]
Facts can be so exasperatingly left-wing, can't they?
