Sorry, but I have known too many worthless trust fund babies. And using connections to get undeserving children hired into a real job is far different from carving out a place for them in the family business, where the parent is at least assuming some risk.
Equating being born to wealth and connections to "hard work and success" is more than a stretch. It does not pass down like blond hair and blue eyes.
