Its only this way in America because the US is less than 250 years old. No one was born rich even in European countries. They all came into their riches through the obtainment of natural resources because it was widely available due to low population of earth, then most likely over time as the population grew, the resources got more and more used and wealth was gained. A thousand-aire 400 years ago, and the land they owned is easily a millionaire by today's wealth standards.
As I said. The US will likely end up on this same path. Its inevitable if the wealthy families are allowed better access to resources and assume more power as a result. The more time goes on, the more difficult it'll be to take the wealth back from the few who have it. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
This is a smart dude. I mean it.
