That is not true based on the data.
Everyone in the world tries to move up through hard work, connections, and whatever advantages they are able to press.
"Recent studies suggest that there
is less economic mobility in the
United States than has long been
presumed. The last thirty years
has seen a considerable drop-off in
median household income growth
compared to earlier generations.
And, by some measurements, we
are actually a less mobile society
than many other nations, including Canada, France, Germany and
most Scandinavian countries. This
challenges the notion of America as
the land of opportunity"
