Many people "bust their ass" but not everyone receives such rewards. The thing about the higher classes is that they offer rewards that lower classes don't, and it's much harder to move from a lower to a higher class. "The American Dream" has always been bullshit unless you're a WASP who's at least middle class.
But you should know this. It's difficult to move from middle class to upper middle class, and it's much more difficult to move from poverty to lower class. It's damn near impossible to advance into the upper class for anyone who isn't already upper middle class.
To Michael_Panetta: Like every good little Democrat parasite you deliberately make no distinction between a private sector middle class and the Parasite Class’ middle class. I could write a 1,000 single-space pages about the distinction, but this will suffice:
Communists/Socialists rely on tax dollars. That is exactly why they created an educated middle class with tax dollars loyal to big government, loyal to democracy, loyal to the U.N.’s tax dollar Human Rights, and every piece of touchy-feeling garbage useful idiots will buy. So long as the government-created middle class is kept happy there is little danger to the Socialist priesthood while they focus all of efforts on shrinking the private sector middle class out of existence.

As to your misunderstanding of the American Dream:
Homeownership used to be the American Dream in my youth because it freed families from the clutches of the hated landlord. Property taxes were very low on a single family residence in those days and everyone believed that no matter how tough things became they could always beg, borrow, or steal enough money to keep from being put out in the street by the tax collector. (Remember Scarlett O’Hara and the green dress made from drapes?)
Unfortunately, the American Dream now means a prominent spot at the public feed tub. I cannot count the times I heard federal officials —— after being appointed to a high-level federal job —— say “This is the American Dream come true.” Their dream is accompanied by a heartfelt tale of humble beginnings. To hear any government official make such a statement because he or she got a government job is a little scary if it turns out to be true because the question then arises “Where did everyone else’s American Dream go?”
