Most middle class families are not headed by businessmen-turned-Congressmen. Warren Buffett's superwealth is a matter of his own brilliance as an investor, which is entirely in line with your point, but I'm not sure his origins were quite so humble. His father, by most standards, was quite successful, although nowhere near as much as his son.
