I wonder if the problem is this breaks the American dream. Americans see themselves as potential future bilionaires and they tell themselves they're just as capable as the rich, but if the rich become genetically superior, it creates a gap that clearly can't be overcome.

This already exists. The rich are less stressed and happier. They have absurd nepotism and social connections. They don't die of curable diseases or from lack of treatment. Their children are better educated and less traumatized growing up. Of all the advantages the rich have, genetic modification is one that could be reduced in price enough for the middle class to afford.
