That鈥檚 absolutely true.But at the same time, most of those rich people worked hard for their money, why not love the fruit of their labors.
Most homeless people are homeless because they choose to be homeless.
Their will always be a need for soldiers, for as long as we human are alive and sentient, we will fight. That鈥檚 just life, which is pretty sad in itself.

And what鈥檚 your point?
My father own lands in Haiti, lands he worked hard to purchase and care for. He鈥檚 already told me once he鈥檚 gone they will be mine and my lite sister. Just because we are set to inherit said lands, must I share it with others because it was giving to me by my dad?
No, that鈥檚 just retarted.

How? Passing something to your offspring is as old as time. No one is obligated to give away something that is theres just for the sake of doing it.
That鈥檚 why I don鈥檛 see myself getting jealous when a rich parent leaves a fortune to their children. It鈥檚 their choice.
By saying, most wealthy people work for their wealth, then, stating you are inheriting your own wealth.dur
Most people inherit wealth, those who make vast wealth often exploit others and the wealth people gain in life "themselves" is debatable. Could I "earn" what I do without the degrees I have, from the education I have; which started from family conversations with parents who were also college educated? Probably not. Could I "make" what I do if I hadn't had the advantage of being born in a G7 nation? Am I wealthy? Not really. Is my income higher than most of the world? Certainly.

It's like lauding Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg as self made men, while ignoring they didn't exactly claw their way up out of a ghetto.

More to your point on exploitation, there was this guy in town who DID claw his way up from rags.
And he did this by exploiting undocumented immigrants to work his chain of Dunkin Donuts.
Lived the high life for awhile, until he got sloppy and was caught, then lost it all.
