hmmm it's an ok argument, except the writer seems to believe that ALL wealthy people got there by working hard......wich is not true, What about Bill Gates kids? also when your from a poor family you have to work MUCH harder to get that college tuition, where as if your already well of daddy pays and you get a good start at life, not to mention a good amount of investment from mom and pop

in the words, and i'm paraphrasing, of the great Fransisco D'Anconia:
Those who are not equal to their fortunes will not posses them for long.
as in, if bill gates' kids are not smart enough and able enough to hold their money, they won't. you can't have money without being deserving of it, it's not possible. shitty businessmen go broke.
and as for the poor kids have tougher starts arguments, that may be true, but that is not the fault of the rich kids. the rich families shouldn't have to pay their kids tuition and the tuition of the poor kids.
besides, how many stories can we find about some poor black kid who pulled himself out of the ghetto by his own bootstraps and now has million dollars? an able mind will always succeed, barrning no circumstance.
