You're right. We should kick that kid out on the street, sell all his belongings, and write a check to ever american for a fat 10 cents. Problem solved.
> So you are only deserving of a life free of poverty (even if you're lazy) if your parents happened to be rich?
This is such a twisting of my words I am not even sure how to respond. Are you saying the only way out of poverty is to steal everything you want from the rich?
Why don't parents who work hard to give their children a good live deserve to do so? It is not their fault if other people have children while they are poor.
Everybody should have a fair chance, but people who worked harder should also be allowed to benefit. Why should anybody be entitled to the fruits of their labor?
Yeah, I disagree. We're talking about on the order of tens of millions of dollars or more being passed from one parent to one child.
