Do you really think people with nice cars, good jobs and nice clothes are the ones who have the largest number of offspring? Think again...
Anyway. In some general senses maybe there can be progress (though much slower that it'd be in the wild), but it's clearly not going to be like this for most specific, unique traits. So no major changes will happen naturally. Even if they do, they'd take so long by that time humans will have probably altered themselves enough to make that change irrelevant.

The speed of the change is usually proportional to the strength of the selection pressure. I would probably agree, intuitively at least, that humans are subject to far fewer and far weaker selection pressures than most animals.
Also, yes, I do think those are the people having the most kids. I don't mean the Fortune 500 CEO's, I mean the 23 year old with the Trans-Am and the boss tats.
