Of course I am aware of this view, and those wealthy families/parents

didn't steal the money they have. They earned it, worked excessive hours, saved it, created businesses, employed people, took risks, maximised profitability and purchased assets.

They then in most cases taught their children the values of hard work and ambition and the principles of preserving wealth and investing it.

They did not fritter it away, gamble it, drink it, smoke it, had kids at a young age, refused to put any effort into their education.

And yes they may have the privilege now of being able to send their kids to a top school, live in a wealthy area and have a quality of life the majority of the population could dream of but go back 90 years and you will most likely find that families ancestor's were no different from any joe bloggs and just as poor as everyone else. (unless you are talking about landowner's and the wealthiest of the wealth i.e the 0.01%)

The point is..

You can blame banks, the government, wealthy people, "privileged white straight men", businesses, corporate entities and try and change the game but you will fail.

Or you can follow the same principles they did, play the game so to speak and instead of spending time complaining that everyone else has better QoL than you do, make something of your own through your own hardwork.

And then you viewpoint might change from "i wish i had more handouts so i could be like those privileged people".

And instead you might consider that what you have earned is worth preserving and those that have not worked a day in their lives, proclaiming socialist principles after being indoctrinated by Marxist professors, do not deserve the money and wealth you have earned and instead should forge their own path.

In life there are winners and losers. Not everyone can be a winner.
