Americans are increasingly unlikely to believe that those who work hard will get ahead and that their children will be better off than they are, according to two recent polls.

It has certainly never been the case that working hard will get you ahead, the inverse is actually more true. People who are forced to work hard to survive can believe this at their detriment.
This is probably the most accurate for people who are from less privileged backgrounds who are expected to demonstrate their merits before being accepted in to professional managerial professions. For people born in to that world it’s more important to not run against the merits that have been assumed for you.
