Yes...and it was not that far back. It is a long road. But, that is a big part of what makes America great. Even with very humble beginnings, if one works hard for a lifetime and is frugal (practices a bit of delayed gratification) ...they can increase their wealth significantly. For most, it is more a marathon than a sprint. That said, it is certainly more difficult depending on where you start...and the actions of government to create headwinds like stagflation and affirmative action are hard to fight.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
