While I don't think you're wrong, they are talking about different things. One is how you're doing despite being working class. Are you a making it? Keeping your head above water? A dentist or engineer making $250k+? Do you struggle to eat or clean yourself every day?

The other is how do you make your money. Do you work for it or do you exploit for it. Were you simply born into it?

Up until a couple years ago I thought we were moving away from racism and classism and more towards a caste system.

Turns out we actually are, races just have their own sub-castes.

But ultimately there are really very few examples of individuals moving past the second or third tier on their own. Those that do are often flaunted as examples of the American Dream or whatever. Basically, hunger games.
