It is undeniable that richer kids have extreme advantages and have to work far far less then those from middle class or poorer class backgrounds.
I'm honestly shocked no one on your side of this has suggested euthinizing the poor and disabled for the benefit of the rich yet. It would seem to go along with your beliefs.
No our believes are that you work hard for something you can make it. Besides you need the middle class to make the economy work.
Besides if your friend is not willing to get into debt for a good education and a good job, and can't get either one of them without it then he's obviously not really all that smart or he just doesn't care. Either way he obviously doesn't deserve it.
And of course rich people have it easier, benefit of being rich. But does that mean that they should just give all their money away, if being rich would suck as much as being poor then there would be no reason to want to be rich and you would have no reason to work hard. Or hell work at all, what would the benefit be?
