Z, so do you still think Bill Gates doesn't deserve to be the richest man on Earth, if what JF says is true? After all, Gates was smart enough to be in the right place at the right time, repeatedly, and knew how to take advantage of it.

I think most of us will agree that Bill Gates deserves to be the richest man in the world due to what he's achieved. But I don't think his kid "deserves" to be in that position when Bill dies, and I certainly don't think his grandkids "deserve" much at all ($10 million seems like plenty per grandkid). Unearned wealth is counter to the idea of prosperity based on individual merit.
