Money often begets money. Always has, always will. A lot of so-called self-made rich people, such as Howard Hughes and Donald Trump, had a lot of "help".
I agree that some people will have it easier due to the class that they were born into. However. That doesn't mean that I feel that they owe me anything because they have accumulated more wealth than me. Nor does it mean that they didn't work towards obtaining their wealth, there is more to it than just starting out with money.
You hear of people that win million dollar lotteries and become poor, same with athletes. Rich kids who never amount to much (I will agree that they have the advantage of a fallback buffer if they have a good relationship with their parents though). Neither of my parents were college grads, nor were many of my friends parents, and we are all doing well (for my standards) for ourselves due to our hard work.
