You have a very grim and victim-based view of financial reality. While you are partially correct, the system is working against the individual, you are also dismissing that there is some wiggle room for these people to improve their financial standing.

By improving your own education, working hard, and learning good financial habits, you can be at least somewhat better off. You will always suffer at the hands of this capitalist machine that chews the poor and spits them out. But with some level of self-discipline you can (at least slightly) improve your life and the lives of your offspring.

Lots of success is based on probability, so with luck, hard work, and financial literacy you may even be much better off.
