because you think they deserve it, instead the poor are stupid or something, instead they are just not lucky enough

Way too legit. This upsets rich people, they think are special butterflies when they are just lucky.

Not all the rich people were lucky and not all the poor people were unlucky, the skill also matters.

tell me more about the skill of the sons of the rich guy, there aren't new rich guys, we are talking about the established one, those are all lucky

A person with a lot of skills can teach his skills to his son, and be a good roll model to him so his son can understand the value of hard work and perseverance.

There are a lot of family businesses when the children ran the business that the parents used to run because the parents were able to give their children enough exposure to the ins and outs of how to properly run the business and taught them the skills necessary to do so.

Wealthy family in general do not keep the wealth for more than a few generation. Wealthy kids tend to be spoiled and parents having marriage problems which keep propagating into future generation.

You always have the option of setting up foundations/ trusts and leave the management of these trusts to professionals. Just give the descendants a portion of the returns from the trust. The descendants cannot ruin the corpus, but receive enough to live a comfortable life.
