There are four grid squares here, and you're ignoring two, and insisting that they are not important to consider.
here are the variables:
father is a congressman (yes/no)
took good advantage of opportunities (yes/no)
to combine them we have:
yes/yes, yes/no, no/yes, no/no.
so you are saying that it didn't matter that his father was a congressman because he took advantage of his opportunities.
But imagine a warren buffet who didn't have a well positioned family, and didn't have the opportunities he had- Still a wiley person- our no/yes.
Where is he on the forbes 400?
Warren Buffet is not exactly a rags to riches story. It's more of a riches to unimaginable riches story.
