Ha

No real discussion of socioeconomic status, advantages based on access to jobs, transportation, grocery stores, etc., nor did he really mention the fact that 50-90% of all wealth is inherited. A pretty decent synopsis, though

I think he alludes to the socioeconimic status thing at times, and the "advantages based on access to jobs" thing can, within reason, be lumped in with his discussion of how people are talented in a way that will let them work in certain professions that will make them rich while others aren't.

Killtrocity,

The large ballpark you've made with that loose stat undermines your point. I think lowballing it at 50% would be damning enough.

sorry dude I'm not citing sources here, lowest end estimates are around 50%, high estimates are around 90. I could've just said 70% but that seems disingenuous

As if leaving money to your kids will make up for all the ways you failed them. I guess it's better than nothing.
