It is said that nine million people in the world share their birthdays, (meaning: they are born on same day). Some of them may be born at the same time or at a narrow time interval.
Now, a child born in a millioneer/billioneer family starts with optimum number of opportunities in education, career, prosperity and future.
A child born in a poor family has to struggle at least for 35 years, before he can reach a sort of starting point.
Now, I shall say that the Capitalist System is a world of equal opportunities for those who have equal capital.
There may be some first generation enterpreneurs/sports persons/starts who made from rag to rich success, but they are exceptions. Most of the common lot live only in common achievements and attainments.
Now, can we say that US is really a free world of equal opportunities?

I think to some extent there is the ability in america to move up and become successful, taking your family with you. But it is not easy and there definitely are groups--or "classes"--of people who are better positioned to succeed. Unfortunately, it is not equal--but the amazing thing is that there is the POSSIBILITY...
