Nobody chooses which family he/she is born into, and nobody ever will. Each of us is randomly awakened, empty and dumb, on this Earth into a specific family and community outside our choosing, with its own mentors and values. This group will fill us with thoughts for 18 years. So yes, it is unfair that some of us are awakened to find we are poor, without good mentors or educators, and will be hindered for the rest of our lives. Unless society embraces something akin to complete communism or a Brave New World, which to me sounds incredibly boring, this will always be the case. We can't completely solve this issue at an individual level. But the problem is not just an individual problem. The path from rags to riches rarely happens in one generation. Consider the family as an institution that competes with other families for life's rewards. There are going to be differences in values between families with 10M and families with 10K. Each family will prioritize life's rewards differently, whether that be riches, a passionate vocation, strong relationships, travel and experience, etc. When looked at from the unit of the family, why would we not want to financially reward families that acquire riches more than those that don't? As long as we can maintain a balance, where an individual who so strongly wants to escape their birth family and make it on their own can do so, isn't this the right thing to do?
