It is always feasible for the wealthiest and most powerful industrialized nation in the world.

It is happenening today but the economy and overall society has changed such that "busting your ass" means something different now than it did generations ago. Moreover, I don't know about you but, my grandparents busted their asses in the fields and in blue collar jobs and both of my parents busted their asses through higher-end academia and raising children so that I wouldn't have to "bust my ass" in the exact same way they did. It's called wealth accumulation and intergenerational mobility. I praise the Lord that I am a beneficiary of it. I'm not in the top 5% of society but I don't need to be to have the quality of life that I want for myself and my family.
