> Why do you think hereditary wealth is positive?

Because I have the right to provide for my children and ensure they can live their best life.

I don’t care if it’s “not fair” or if I “lucked out.” My family comes in first. Not the government, not anyone else - if I make something or earn something, it is my right to provide for my family.

> largely by being born in the right place, at the right time, with the right parents etc. etc.

Why is anyone obligated to a level playing field?



You just think you have that right, but really it’s an opinion you hold strongly. My opinion is different from yours on this, and I certainly don’t think we’re about to persuade each other here.
