But fuck the little assholes who just inherit that success by virtue of luck. If you didn't earn it you don't deserve it.
Nowadays it feels like the rich still get their rich neighborhood, but now the middle-class neighborhood is for the children/families of the rich, and the poor neighborhood is for the middle class, and the poor just get to live in an RV on the streets.
I guess what's weird is that the rich weren't a middle class problem when they were off doing rich people things, but now that the rich are going after what little the middle class have, it's a problem.
We likely don't build enough housing, but that's different than it not being possible or affordable to do that given different policy.
And where does one draw the line? Inheriting $100k? 500k? A million? Five million?
If you make "a fortune", wouldn't you want to pass it on to your kids eventually? Because I do.
This is evident to most people, but surprisingly not obvious, in my experience, to the people most directly affected.
Being that wealthy doesn't mean you'll be happy or not struggle, but it makes a lot of things easier. There are a lot of people who can barely feed their kids, will they get the opportunity to achieve to their ability? Lot harder for them than for you.
Luck plays a much greater role than many free-market, survival-of-the-fittest capitalists want to admit. And so why is it that luck in the form of health, talent, country of citizenship, physical attractiveness, etc. should be any less reason for envy (which is the real issue here) than the gift of money?
