I am often reminded why it is so great we live in a capitalist country.

These kids were clearly raised incorrectly. The parents are wealthy, though. Their error in rasing their kid won't be thrust upon society like in socialist countries where the parents line up government jobs for their kids.

Instead, these parents will send their inheritance to their idiot children who will squander the money. And they will fail job after job. The squandered money will end up in the hands of talented individuals who will then get their shot at raising good kids who can handle an inheritance.

It's insane to see someone's 68 yo mother help their 30 yo kid do their bills and take their pets to the vet for them. Thankfully those talentless individuals will be generally employed on their own merits and will eventually learn that they have to work to support themselves.

That's why we need to keep our system a capitalist one. ;) This particular turd of my story got his job initially due to the degree and travel experience he had. These were directly the result of his better financial position. However, even though he wasn't bad at his job in the skill performance sense, his incredibly bad attitude/personality caused him to eventually get fired (and the way he got fired means that he will have a hard time getting hired from now on -- certainly not going to get a letter of recommendation from that job).
