What about those that are simply middle-class at $40k and their children that "inherit" nice safe communities, clean streets, clothes, food. They don't earn that, they're given that.

That's a disctinct advantage. I know, because I had all those things and I knew people that didn't.

However, I won't make excuses for lazy people who don't want to learn and have no willpower to try and change their situation.
