And especially not for a large group of people like thirty or forty percent of the population. That's absurd. It is a myth to say to everyone that "if you just work hard, you can be successful!". For many people in this country right now, if they just work hard they can stay alive. That's it. Success for them is just staying alive. Opportunities that some, or even most, of us have are not available to all. It has always been that way and it will probably always be that way. But that is no reason to overgeneralize and label people just because they belong to a different class.

BTW- The same goes for labeling all rich people as 'overachieving'. They are not. And some will even tell you that they are not, if you ask.
