I'm sure they only sell you a ticket if you pulled yourself up out of the slums by your own bootstraps. No old money allowed.

  What's your point?

    Being born wealthy doesn't require much expended effort from the recipient of the wealth.

      Which is relevant how?

        > I doubt it's any more difficult to > get absurdly wealthy than to become > an astronaut Not very many people are born as astronauts, but some people are born very wealthy.

          Yes, but the point was if you're not born wealthy you probably have a better chance of becoming wealthy than becoming a NASA astronaut. Also, why do some people think being born with money is somehow bad, but being born with intelligence and drive is good? Aren't they both down to luck?
