The „merciless exploitation of the working class” is not how they get rich, but how they keep their wealth. If you're poor, you can't really exploit the working class. It's basically just birth lottery with a really really small section for the people with luck and/or hard work.

Of course you can. It's called turning to crime. Most pimps, low level drug dealers, etc, aren't rich.
