It depends. If a one group of people controls most of nation wealth/resources/land etc because of inheritance it can lead to the exploitation. The examples are Latin American oligarchies and parts of Europe before WWI.

Has America ever been an example of this?

It can get there, especially if free trade and the merger with Latin America continues.

First you said inherited wealth was exploitation, now you say it can lead to exploitation. Your definitions keep changing. Did you find this in the Bible? Or was it something from Marx?
