The people who earn the most money in this civilization are those who are first in line at the 1% loan window of the federal reserve bank. These people are not wealthier by hard work. They are wealthier by a system of aristocratic privileges.
Among working class people those who work harder, put in longer hours and distinguish themselves can earn a dollar or two an hour more than their fellow laborers, but that dollar or two an hour is never going to get them to the comfort levels of self-sustaining wealth.
Among entrepreneurs those who are smarter, more strategic, more disciplined and more driven end up earning more money, but they will probably never rise to the ability to live off of the interest on their holdings alone. They will always have to be personally involved in the operation of their own capital resources.
The essential barrier between working class people and entrepreneurs is access to credit. A working class person with the best ideas in the universe and the hardest working habits will never rise to entrepreneurship simply because they will never be able to save enough or raise enough capital to try their hand at running a small business.
This system is inherently oligarchic, and until we realize that and bring to the very center of our civilization more democratic mechanisms, we will continue to live in a world of desperation where the masses struggle just to survive while a handful live a life of absurd opulence.
