Now I am currently in my last year of high school, it is a public school, it is okay as far as education goes, there are about 1500 students attending, it is overcrowded, it is a public school, it is in a rural area, and it has students from a wide range of economic backgrounds from very very poor to pretty damn rich. Now what I have noticed is that students from better economic circumstances tend to do better and the poorer a family is the worse the student is going to do now there are always many exceptions but my point is not that people who's family have more money try harder often they don't. Most of the students, excluding those that do really well or really bad, put out about the same effort and yet the students from worse socioeconomic backgrounds do worse. Why is that mafoo?

because effort does not all have to be your own.

I hope that the efforts I put forth, I can transfer to my kids when I have some. I hope I still have that right, and government doesn't take it away to give to someone else's kids.

Yes, the effort it took me to get to where I am, is the same as a rich kid did to get to a better place. I could catch that rich kid if I applied more effort though, I just am not willing to sacrifice my life for the different lifestyle.

The reason he gets more out of his effort, is his father or mother gave him some of there effort to help him along the way.

Every single dollar earned, is just that. Earned. It's someone's effort. Each dollar didn't take the same amount of effort to earn, but it's still someone's time. What gives you the right to take that time from some for the purpose of giving it to someone else?

That's called Slavery, and it used to be against the law in the US. Not anymore.

     However, it is also slavery for a person to put forth more effort than anyone else at their place of work and never get ahead.  For example, the slaves under the planation owners in the 19th century and slave wage earners today.  And it's no more right for them to do all of the work at a place of business and receive very little compensation (wages that don't really pay for their necesseties or enough for them to be able to better their lot in this life.  Company healthcare that doesn't really cover anything at all that could be considered serious) for their efforts than was the backbreaking labor of African American slaves in the nineteenth century.
