Set your offspring up with privilege? That's my objective, that's kind of the whole point of parenting isn't it?

Yes. But that's not the point anyone is arguing. Though hilariously, Buffet himself would probably disagree with you on that matter. 

The original point is that people in the US like to believe a person could go from being a dickensian street urchin to being a billionaire. It is literally not possible in one lifetime. His father was a congressmen and owned his own investment firm. That is already light-years ahead of the average person. 

That mythos pushed in this country is detrimental at some point because it's inherently developing a classist system. It's effectively arguing for the right of kings under the guise of capitalism. "My child deserves this thing because I worked hard for it" is fine. Most everyone agrees with that. 

What they don't agree with is: "No one in this family lineage will ever have to work again for quite literally the next 300 generations because of the unfathomable amount of wealth I've created." Because at some point arguing for that isn't arguing for capitalism anymore, it's arguing for straight up aristocracy.
