Chaps my hide with broke journalist mentality:
"This means that 40 percent of why some Americans are extraordinarily well off has nothing to do with smarts, hard work, frugality, lucky gambles or entrepreneurial ingenuity. It is simply because they were born to rich parents."
In the US at least, it isn't hard if in lower middle class or above to invest small sums over long periods to get large amounts. It is simply that they are not doing it, or do not know why one should. To blame that one's own parents or grandparents did not do it, yet anothers did is victim blaming another's actions when they should look at their own descendants action.
