Richard, I don't agree with the idea that everyone in America has equal opportunity for anything. It's an ideal which we haven't reached yet imo. Do you really think that a black male born in the ghetto has equal opportunities with a white male born to a wealthy family?!

In the U.S., most individuals that are wealthy get that way through capital gains from stock investments in corporations. In any given year, there are probably only .01% of the really wealthy whose portfolio increases. Many U.S. citizens have pensions that are invested in large corporations - 501k plans - which constitute their life savings and retirement funds. In the U.S., everyone has an equal opportunity to make money to invest or spend.
