This is all an argument predicted on 'oh I can't do everything right'.
No. There is an extremely common tendency for the wealthy to pass on advice...for the wealthy, and pretend like its good news for everyone.
The wealthy are by definition the minority, the advice they give is mostly wrong in this regard (unless you are rich/lucky), the posturing about minorities and such is so much hot garbage.
In fact even the argument that it might work for the middle class is an oxymoron - anything serving to bring more people to wealth and out of middle class-dom necessarily reduces the number of middle class, and mathematically increases the likelihood of the being poor.
Such advice is never presented as 'wise ways to keep the middle class around' it is usually always framed as 'do this and you will reap rewards!!'.
