the class war has been won by the wealthy by conditioning everyone to think of themselves not as they are or have been but as they might be in the future if they are hard-working, lucky and successful.
This is a fundamental point. I read a poll that stated that something like 10 or 20% of the population thought they were in the top 1% earners.
