I strongly disagree. Anyone has the opportunity to change their own situation at the expense of others.<p>Think about it like this. No single individual can produce a billion dollars worth of output with his own bare hands. If I &quot;choose&quot; to be a billionaire  I have to employ many people and pay them less money than their worth so I can skim the extra resources off the top. If everyone &quot;chose&quot; to be a billionaire who would be left to do the actual work?<p>Billionaires are only billionaires because they employ other people.<p>To be wealthy by definition means other people must be poorer than you and thus by definition if you choose to be wealthy you are choosing for other people to be poorer than you. If you chose for other people to be poor than those people never had a choice. Thus in capitalism there are Plenty of people who do not have the freedom of choice.
