At the risk of sounding glib, that's a rather Scrooge-ish remark. I only hope that people for the most part do not feel that way. Not saying anyone reading this does, but it is a rather frightening concept.
To me, the feudal system was frightening - there's a reason they call it the "the Dark Ages" IMO. No chance to move up, no chance for advancement or to stand out and be noticed for being better at something, no way to GET a chance to be more than what you were born. It's why I said I *could* take that view. Just a possibility. Hopefully things are shifting.
