That’s simply not true for the upper middle class - look at the statistics for Chinese immigrants. They start out much poorer than the average native-born American but they quickly end up earning significantly more than the average native-born American does. Plenty of them go from poverty to the upper middle class in one or two generations.
It’s almost like people who come from a culture that’s not “fuck you, I got mine” are really successful when dropped into a tight immigrant community in a country that has more open social and economic policies.
You’re so rich, how can you be so dumb?
Wealth and status has everything to do with family background and generational wealth. You either have it or you don’t.

America’s problem is Americans.

You sound lost my friend.
By your logic, you must be destitute.
