One way that we were shown how this is represented in real life is by playing a game of Monopoly. Each player represented a social class: upper class, middle class, and the working class. The person who represented the upper class had the most money and the person that represented the working class had the least amount of money. In reality the upper class the person with the most amount of money was probably new money because they didn't earn any of it they just had the money because their family probably has the money so the money was just passed down to them while the working class has to work for their money.
Throughout the game you just saw the person who represented the upper class had the most amount of money and just kept getting more the people who represented the lower class just kept losing their money. According to the rules of the U.S. structure of how social class and money works shows the wealthy just always stay wealthy while the lower class or the poor always stay poor. Though, some do move up to the middle class they still will never be with the upper class.
