What is the purpose of earning more money than you need if you cannot use it to help yourself and your closest people? How can one stop, or should one stop, people of means from seeking to give their children every advantage? Not even Bolsheviks would have objected; they did well by their offspring, if they did not get killed by their paranoid leaders.

Granted that using illegal means should be prosecuted and stigmatized, but there are plenty of legal and even admirable ways of helping your closest relatives and perhaps even friends, and in some case through charity even strangers. Not even God would object!
