73% of Americans being in the top 20% of income earners for one year in their lives does not in any way diminish what I am saying.

The median dollar of wealth is inherited by the wealthiest top 5% of families, not earned as income - which your statistic doesn't even address.

My point is that your statistic doesn't mean anything to the everyday reality of normal Americans. If I believe that I can achieve my goals, and the facts suggest that I'm right to do so, why should I care that someone else's parents left them their money?

Banging your drum even more loudly doesn't change the fact that you are off beat.
