But hey, that could just be a simplistic view.
maybe they keep the rich rich, but they don't keep the poor poor. If the poor wants to get rich they need to get off their ass, quit acting like victims or products of their own lives and starting looking for success.

Anybody can rise up and be succesful, wouldn't you rather be promise you'll be help in staying rich. You just got to get rich first on your own.
