so if someone has more than you that's unfair, is it?
What's so great about stuff anyway? Deal with it.

erm
If they've done absolutely fuck all to earn it or deserve it, while some people slog away their whole life for nothing, then, er, yes, I'd say that was pretty unfair.

Sorry, I'll skulk on back to my Commie Pinko messageboard, shall I...

deserving it
They may not have, but their parents probably have, so why shouldn't parents pay or use their advantages to help their children? Should my parents not pay my uni fees? Should parents not buy their children things they want, or should all children work in some giant factory so they can earn reward points to spend at toy shops? And thus life would be 'fair', but everyone would be miserable.
And who are you to decide who 'deserves' things? Are you perfectly deserving of everything you get or don't get? I'm a nice person, perhaps I 'deserve' money. I know a bitchy person, perhaps the distribution of wealth police should take away all the money her parents worked hard for.

Parents have a responsibility
to try to bring their children up to a) be decent, respectful people, not nasty little shits who bully the poor kids, and b) be able to make their own way in life. Whilst some well-off parents obviously do manage both of these just fine, showering your kids with infinite supplies of money and everything they ever ask for is not usually a good way to go about it.
