Equating being born to wealth and connections to "hard work and success" is more than a stretch. It does not pass down like blond hair and blue eyes.
You're right about this. It manifests itself in the "paying your dues" that we always complain about. People who had to work hard for what they have versus those who were able to just buy the job at some pilot factory in Florida. They might have to meet the same requirements but their path to the job wasn't nearly as hard.
