Rags to Riches: in the United States, can you work your way up from poverty to extreme wealth?

Asked by phoenyx (7401points) January 22nd, 2010

If so, why don’t we hear about it more often? How would you do it? Is there an example of someone who has done it? Is it just hard work or do you have to be lucky too?

If not, what are the obstacles? Are those obstacles insurmountable? How could we remove those obstacles?
