It was fair, everyone had to deal with the same challenges. My grandparents started out as poor and uneducated dust bowlers, migrants.
They did the best they could with what they had, without expecting others to give them hand-outs.

By the time my grandfather died they owned a pretty good chunk of land near a major university.
Two large apartment complexes, 3 houses, and several vacant lots.

Then my low-life progressive uncle helped my grandmother sell everything off and spent all her money on HIM, eventually putting her in a home with little more than her SS left.

THAT was unfair, but he DESERVED that money and was ENTITLED to it.
