at least you don't have to play some political game to step on anybody, and at least you don't have to have connections or be part of any family or specific ethnic group to become highly successful.

In some ways that is true and its a great thing about poker, that the only discrimantory factor from any "public" game is money, anybody with the money can play. As far as "satalite" poker income goes though (writing artciles, books, poker products, coaching, etc.) poker is just like any other business in that respect.
