Then there are those that "won" by being born into the right family. They don't have to contribute anything but are immensely rewarded.

The vast majority of millionaires in the US are self made. A fact left wingers willfully ignore.

And the vast majority of lottery winners aren't born rich. Just because some people get lucky doesn't mean the system is working. Meanwhile: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/most-americans-cant-afford-a-500-emergency-expense/

Were you born in the US or the EU? You were already born into a very, very good family by world standards. Being jealous of those few who were born into slightly better families than you won't take you far in life or do anything for your happiness. You're spoiled, and all you can do is be jealous of those who are slightly more spoiled than you, which makes you a little brat.

This isn't jealousy. This is indignation that merit isn't adequately rewarded. And it is a tragedy for society. How many Einsteins were doomed to a life of burger flipping? Opportunity is limited and that is made apparent when birthright matters more than ability.
