What is the conditional probability of getting rich through hard work for a member of the working class. It is most probably equivalent to the probability of winning a lottery. Even through posterior probability, it would still be high. Hard work very rarely pays off, the statitical record speaks for itself. the man says he is above 100,000 and within the 10 percent band, above a million and within what .05% percent band and the skewness simply grows. thank god for statistics.there is after all a sort Veblenian tone to what that man says, he dangles the mythological carrot that very few can reach but many waste a lifetime hoping they can.
In a way the piss poor neoclassical argument of scarce resources seems to make it clear that not every one can be rich.
