Are you kidding? How does someone go about obtaining skills? Education is expensive, even trade school. Not having to worry about living expenses or being one unforeseen major expense sinking you gives you huge leg up on obtaining skills.
Sure you can work from an entry-level job all the up to the top. How many people can do this? Meanwhile if your parents pay for you Ivy League education you walk your way in to a well-paying job.
Being poor is a disadvantage and to pretend like it isn’t is to literally deny reality. It impacts literally every aspect of your life in negative ways. Terrible food is cheaper. Healthcare is expensive. Meeting your basic needs as a human is an incredibly taxing process when you’re living paycheck to paycheck and trying to support yourself.
I’m not saying “Abolish the rich” even. But the kind of transfer of generational wealth we have now is a detriment to society.
We let the rich have and keep more of their money than ever before. The wealth gap isn’t a gap anymore, it’s an abyss that you couldn’t ever hope to see the bottom of.
