    Kind of makes it easier if you can get a 60 million dollar loan from daddy like Trump did.

    Or if White Daddy owns an Emerald mine in Black South Africa, taken by force by military from Europe, like was the case for Elron Musk. So how was that fair to all South Africans?

    You are completely blind if you think there is an even playing field.

    Yes there may be the occasional anecdotes, like Jeff Bezos who weren’t born rich, but for them it requires both insanely hard work and luck.

    Anecdotes are not a statistic that proves anything. And the statistics clearly say that if you are rich, chances are overwhelming that you were born into it.

    Yet the rich have a sense of entitlement that they somehow deserve to be rich, but not the people who have to work two jobs, and never have a vacation. How do you arrive at that is a fair system?

        Too bad. No one can do that.

        You don’t have any influence on luck. So yes, nobody can do that, that’s something you may or may not get.

        Having a better chance doesn’t mean others don’t have a chance.

        I never claimed any such thing, you are arguing a Straw Man.

            So basically you don’t want to take the chance because there’s a chance you’ll fail.

            I never wrote anything of the kind, you are arguing another straw man.

            You guys are really a broken generation! Social media broke you.

            Yet another straw man, that’s 3 in a row now. Tell me don’t you know what a straw man argument is, since you continue to use them?
