Rich people's children will get by because in the vast majority of cases someone in that family earned the money. There is nothing wrong with that. If the middle class people want their kids to do better in life then they need to make more to leave them or support and encourage them to get a better education so they will have a better opportunity to achieve wealth.
Why are the poor and middle class screwed?? because they aren't getting enough hand outs from the govt? The poor and middle class proportionally and cumulatively pay a lot less in taxes than the upper class. How are they getting screwed, is the "man" keeping them down. Or is it just the simple fact that they are not very successful. Maybe they didn't go to med school and become a doctor making half million a year, or they didn't learn the business skills to become a CEO to make millions or they didn't go to law school and excel in their profession, or they didn't save up and start their own business and excel at it. We see millionaires in our own industry, some posting here. I just never understand the hate for successful/rich people other than jealousy.
The only reason the poor or middle class is screwed is because they screwed themselves because they didn't succeed. In most cases (exception of inheritance) the middle class and poor had every opportunity to become rich. In some cases it may have been a little harder for some of them to achieve but the potential was there for EVERYONE. When people want to blame and bash the rich they should take a long look in the mirror and blame themselves for not making more money or being more successful. Don't blame others for being successful, blame yourself for not. Jealousy is a bitch.
