This is mostly true but not always. I was given nothing from anyone, and had an extremely hands off manner of being raised. Meaning I was taught nothing and given no encouragement. I definitely would've been in a gang if I had been born in a big city as I was very aggressive and a tough kid. Thankfully I was from a small town, and my excellent community saved me.
That said it took me until I was 36 to have the money to take any entrepreneurial leaps. It took me that long to save up enough money. Working in bad conditions that most kids with money would never put up with.
I'm not special in any way except my character is rare, resilient.
I wouldn't join in being resentful towards rich kids but I do recognize the need to force the wealthy to pay a lot more in taxes to give others like me and the worse off, a chance to succeed.
That's what we all owe to the society that enabled our wealth. Some owe more than others, as their wealth increases.
