First, by definition, not everyone can be elite. Hell, you can't even get more than 50% of the population to be better than average! -- its math.
And if "In America not being part of the elite is a failure because the political and economical system is made to benefit, empower and sustain elites." is true (which seems likely), then maybe that is what needs to change.
A good step would be as you suggest, to start to massively invest in education and childhood health.
