The reason why some people find it easy to make money, is because of
nepotism, so money is given to them on a plate. The practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, esp. by giving them jobs.

Why do you think that Mark Ronson, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse and Adele are famous? Do you think they worked hard to get where they are today? They didn't. They're only successful because they went to BRIT School, which is run by the same company that does the BRIT Awards, Official Charts Company and PPL (music royalties).

How did Bob Sinclar from France get so famous? Like many French musicians trying to break through, he travelled to London to promote his music, and once he got known there as it's easier there, then he went back to France and got known there as he already could prove his popularity. That's not nepotism, as nobody of relation helped him, but you get the idea. People get rich from who they know, not what they know.

Most people who ever get rich, don't get so on their own accord or merit. The sad thing about poverty is that the only way to escape it is for someone who is not in poverty to pull you out of it. The sad thing about getting rich is that it's so easy for people with good connections.

Update

Encyclopedia Dramatica explains this in more detail, on their article
about upper-middle class Libertarians. Those people who come from the
good backgrounds.

And lo, it was good. Because if there is one thing that makes
financially comfortable white people feel good about themselves, it is
that they earned the benefits of being financially comfortable, clearly by their own merits.

It wasn't daddy's money that bought you your head start in life. It wasn't the better schools, the better nutrition, the better neighbourhoods. It wasn't the country you were born in, or the system of laws that protected and to this day protects you. It wasn't the various government agencies making sure you have licensed doctors, clean drinking water, or safety standards for vehicles.

No, my young privileged white boy, you did it all. You, and only you, are responsible for all your success. And anyone who isn't as well off just didn't work as hard. And the government can only take from a productive member of society like you to give to the leeches. And there should be no laws. And even though there are laws, they don't really apply to you, because you're special. Be as selfish as you want. It's all you.
