It is however a strawman since no one is claiming that the money in themselves are the issue.
It's not the actual wealth that matters but how long the family have had it. When you raise children you build their character and their ability to deal with a bunch of different complex choices in life.
You can't really be using lottery winners to say anything that what happens to lottery winners.

- ThomPete 10y agoYes but as a fundamental thing NOT as a sudden strike of luck.
- gscott 10y agoRight away it said it was testing "wealth shocks" going from something to everything in a day. Take a person who has a habit of gambling (the lottery) and they win millions, could be great or a disaster. Someone who has had money from birth, say Donald Trump, gets all sorts of perks like the best schools and a dad that gets him influence and early good deals.
- ThomPete 10y agoYes but why is it testing that? Who is claiming this is important?
