I completely agree with the irony and your thoughts on the situation! That is a really good connection! I would add, however, that the difference between the two, is that in America the wealthy attained their wealth by hard work, not because they were given that place in society because of their background. (The only slight exception I can find is celebrities. But yet in that elite society, it still is talent and hard work that gets you in...) I think that may have been one of the reasons the people in Latin America found fascinating about the U.S., is the ability to start from scratch and make your way toward wealth and higher society.
