We already know people born poor are more likely to stay poor and that "the American dream" was largely a fantasy.
People are convinced there is some worthiness in what they do. That because they get paid more, they're more valuable than people who are paid less. But it's a lie. Anyone can be an accountant or a middle-manager. It doesn't make anyone any more special, or smarter, or more worthy of living than someone working fast food.
A better question is why some people are making enough money to solve things like homelessness by themselves while others are working full-time for a salary they can't live on?
