re: #551 MandyManners

Okay..let me rephrase that..

Those with material wealth are significantly more likely to be able to pass resources on to their children, which then allows them to be significantly able to pass resources to their children and so on and so forth, because each generation starts with a few hundred thousand head start. This will tend to stratify class population, in that those in the upper class tend to stay there not out of any talent or hard work of their own but because they are born there.

I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
