I guess wealth is a reasonable metric of effort, ability, perseverance, stability of family, respect for the law and fiscal responsibility after all....

Not so much, I think. If you were correct, then why does the gap fluctuate so much from one year to the next? The answer is the economy. When the economy goes down the shitter, the bottom half suffers the most. Those with less education tend to be in the bottom half. Immigrants and ghetto dwellers have much less education.
