errr... Capitalism. It's all one and the same.

At least it's a wonderful thing for people like Bezos.

He claims he was NOT born into wealth but his grandparents owned Lazy Gise Ranch ('Lazy G' for short) a sprawling ranch covering over 25,000 acres. He claimed to have "worked" on their huge wealthy ranch.

Yeah, I worked on my parents small farm too. But it was mostly to take care of my horses and gardens. My parents had 14 acres. His grandparents had 25,000 acres.

If you are born into capital you have a head start that all the rest of us do not. I do not believe for a moment his grandparents didn't give him a lot of money and capital. He made his money the old fashion way. Inheritance.
