The fiscal class you are born into has a positive correlation with what kind of fiscal class you will lead in your life. People whose parents have high wealth can afford better schools, education, health, social connections, and other higher class of genes with which to mate. All of these things let the wealthy stay wealthy through generations.
Fighting through fiscal barriers is extremely difficult. There are anomalies, though. Being pushed down for generations has affected blacks in their current environment. Being denied knowledge and forced into slave positions for generations will make coming back that much more difficult. This is the basis for affirmative action. Of course, the flipside is that this may allow people into positions they don't deserve because they don't have the capability or knowledge to do well. That's why there's a constant struggle between affirmative action and meritocracy.
