Nobody said they could. But once again you've bought the Republican Kool-Aid 100%. Its either successful people pulling themselves up from their boot straps or lazy no good takers. Theres a middle ground. Maybe some people just want to live a comfortable life and do not want to be millionaires, or don't care. They're happy working a 40 hours a week job and raising their 2 kids. With bowling night every Friday. Being home to eat dinner with their kids and helping with the homework. Saving up for that once in a lifetime trip to Hawaii. What's wrong with that? They work hard also. Thats the problem with the above graphic. It's becoming harder and harder to achieve. Because the more and more wealth that goes to the 1%, the more it's hoarded and not filtering back into the economy.
