Now think about how many opportunities are outcomes.

This is what so many people don't get.

Generational wealth, even in small amounts, exists because someone gave up what they wanted now for the future of their children or grandchildren. My parents were able to pay part of my brother's college because the family saved up while the kids were younger. Why should some other family get the benefits of that outcome without the work? Where would it come from other than from taking from those who did the hard work to give to those who didn't.

It's a perverse world that rewards failure and punishes success in the name of "equality", but that's the perversion of incentives that the elite want: because it lessens the chance of any newcomer coming up and knocking them off the throne.
