Did you go to college?
You may not know this but it is very common that your professor graded you on a bell curve. This is leveling the playing field.
If they didn't do that, you likely would not pass the class.

All this amounts to is the same hand holding from high school into college. And doeasnt represent the real world. If you were generally carried from start to finish by your peers, depending on your career, this inability will inevitably catch up to you somewhere down the line.

This makes no sense because it assumes having massive wealth is an equal benefit to being 2" taller than average or being slightly more athletic. Are you actually making the claim that being a little more talented at one thing is an equal benefit to having access to functionally limitless money from childhood, and therefore access to all the best resources available for health, education, emotional stability, and financial planning? Really? Because I don't believe anyone is stupid enough to seriously put forth that argument.

Even wealth has it's limits, which is the individual. Otherwise they wouldnt lose or fail at anything. If they lack the physical ability, intellectual capacity or mental drive to take advantage of it all then the most that wealth will amount to come adulthood is a safety net at best. And honestly, better their own money used then the tax payers.
