I agree that people should stop complaining. I immigrated to this country and my mother's income has never been above $55,000 (started at around $20,000). I additionally have the disadvantage of being in an over represented race, and I don't plan on taking any SAT prep besides buying some books. But I don't think it's a big deal.

Of course wealthy people start out with advantages. I don't think this is necessarily fair, but keep in mind that the US might be the country with THE MOST social mobility. The chances to climb the social ladder are everywhere. When you're wealthy and your children have those advantages you didn't, I don't think I'll hear you complaining
