But that isn't all you ask of your government - in that demand is implicit that not only it be somehow feasible that you go from poor to rich, but also that it be feasible on a reasonable scale. Otherwise your condition could be fulfilled by only one out of all Americans in a generation being able to make that leap, which is a position that strikes me as unreasonable.
Few people in America are actually asking for everyone to make the same, and for the government to redistribute wealth in that fashion. They're just asking that it be easier for a poor person to make the leap to rich when investing an adequate amount of effort to do so.
