You are painting with a broad brush there. Inheriting wealth is not "government help" if that's what you are implying. Taxing gains less than taxing income is not "government help" if that's what you are implying.
Actually what are you implying?
I am saying that later generations lack the drive to acquire status and wealth. For them to stay wealthy requires some form of assistance from the government. In England, it was primogeniture and inherited political power.
In the Americas, that has not been the case. Look at the Kennedy family. It even happens with politics. Do you expect Chealsey Clinton to keep or dissipate the fortune her parents accumulated through political power?
The families that generated great wealth in the 1900's are dissipating that wealth.
New rich in the digital age have taken their place.
