Prior to the past 40 years, success did hinge on ability. Then the country discovered multiculturalism, diversity, and affirmative action, and it has been a down hill slide ever since.
Ability presupposes learned things, and learned things presupposes intelligence. But "intelligence", in the bibles of the new liberal theologians, is a culturally derived bias, and need not be considered. If people have been randomly "lucky" (i.e. smart) in the sweepstakes of life, Government can correct all that through the re-distribution of money with the ability to tax and regulate, by taking money earned by the lucky (the smart) and giving it to the unlucky (the ignorant), provided that the unlucky (the ignorant) appreciate the government action by rewarding that government with continous votes.
Ultimately, the small group of educated people recognize that the only place to be is in politics, for every other endeavor is regulated by the same politicians who are, at the same time, making this year's public education even dumber that last years, thus driving the process of political totalitarianism from both top and bottom.
Alexis de Tocqueville, the French statesman, traveler, and historian, predicted (in "Democracy in America") the eventual triumph of political demogogues when he visited this country in 1832. He noted that American democracy was a great experiment, but that when the Unlucky, combined with the politicians which fed on them (he said "Americans", but these two groups are what he meant) discovered that they could vote themselves money from the public till, the experiment would be over.
On November 4, 2008, the American people, by a 52/47 split, knowingly voted in Socialism. The prophecy has been fulfilled.
