Is it fair that some people are born into complete wealth and others are born with nothing at all?

Answer 1

Your question assumes that money is somehow a "good" in life and the more money the better.

As the old saying goes, money can't buy happiness.

Answer 2

No. But who ever said life is fair? Just because someone is born poor doesn't mean they have to stay that way. My grandfather was born on a farm in Nebraska in a house with no electricity or running water. Today he and my grandmother own a seaside home in Newport Beach, a summer home in Montana, and travel around the world extensively. Anyone can be successful if they work for it.

Answer 3

We don't have to be BORN into wealth to attain wealth here. Many people in the western countries rise up from poverty to become wealthy by hard work, saving money, realizing good opportunities. We have a great democatic consitution, and the freedom be rewarded for our hard work. Overspending, excuses and laziness are big reasons why many Americans don't prosper, not the station born into.
Are we as willing as the immigrants who come here, to sacrifice space, time and toys to find prosperity?. How many of us would live together in one house to save money, have young and old put all their cash together and all work together, toward future prosperity (as many immigrants do)?

Its not like we live in a dictatorship, or communist country with no free speech, no freedom in choice of work, wages, relocation,etc. No one has a chance there (thats why they want to come here!) When I went to mainland China, the people were willing to give anything for a free society like ours. Thanks to the internet, the Chinese and North Koreans and many others, are starting to see what life can be like, with democatic leadership and fair laws.

Anyone feel bad about the unbalance? Use your money to send something to the unfortunate, feed the poor, donate to a charity organization.

Answer 4

Life isn't about fair. At least in America every person has the opportunity to make something of themselves. If you're born poor, you're not forced to stay poor.

Benjamin Frankin said the Constitution doesn't guarantee you happiness, just the pursuit of it. It's up to you to catch it.

Answer 5

It's about as fair as people being born beautiful, with great strength, extreme gifts in math, or with a great voice. But what are you gonna do? Just do the best you can with what you have.

Answer 6

No one ever said life was fair! Life is the luck of the draw. Those with money worked for it and saved and invested their earnings to have what they have.

There will always be the haves and the have nots... but a hard working have not can overcome poverty to become one of the haves.

Answer 7

As my Mama says "It ain't fair? Guess what life 's not fair!!" You deal with the cards your dealt My lifes been altered several times by things completely out of my control. You take stock and move on.

Answer 8

no one is born with nothing. they always have God. if they are born alive ,healthy mentally and physically with loving ;caring parents andfamily members while keeping God first in their lives then they are the wealthiest. material belongings make life on earth easier because of society(people demands) but does not make one whole.education, hard work,wise spending,and saving can make your life on earth easier also. self pity gets you no where.God has all you need for the asking.

Answer 9

Why worry about this? Why don't you look into the mirror instead of complaining about not being born with a silver spoon.

Answer 10

I was born witht nothing at all, boy was that cold.Figures the rich are born fully dressed.
