Those with higher IQs and higher levels of conscientiousness (grit, etc) and risk-taking will continue to acquire and maintain a wildly disproportional share of resources and power. Just enough charity and handouts will be given to havenots to prevent "unrest". And not a penny more.

IQ doesn't have as much to do with it as willingness to be a sociopath and take advantage of others as a predictor of great success in American style capitalism. If you aren't a sociopath you can probably count on just getting by or maybe a touch better if you are lucky.
