The promise that if you work hard and play by the rules, you will get ahead, or if you don’t, surely your children will, was broken long ago. But there's a way to turn this around.
It only existed if you were a white male WW2 soldier that got the GI bill and an education in the late 40s/early 50s. When wealthy people actually got taxed appropriately as well as CEOs that didn’t make 100x more than their employees. There were loopholes of course but they involved billionaires having to actually do something with their money to benefit society like building libraries.
