Its only this way in America because the US is less than 250 years old. No one was born rich even in European countries

But simply being an aristocrat didn't guarantee they would be the owners of land and resources. Wouldn't you say the aristocrats were a small minority? I would say they had a worse chance of using their aristocratic powers to set aside the lesser caste in the US than in Europe. The US had so much land to explore and take over that there was a greater opportunity to assume control by those who were simply willing to brave the journey (i.e., California gold). The aristocracy was established through the socioeconomic system of Europe, and while that may help in America, it wouldn't have lasted without assuming control of the resources.

The greatest Americans were those who knew that their sweat would never make them rich, but would set their children and grandchildren up for success and prosperity.
