All they "deserve" is what they earn or what you choose to earn for them. No one deserves anything based upon what others have earned. Backwards created that chance WITH his hard work, it wasn't given to him just because someone else had it.


You’re conflating “hard work” with wealth. Like wealth is a measure of how hard someone works. That is simply not always true, I know plenty of people who work really hard who are well below his tax bracket. I’ve got a cousin who works in maintenance at the Blue Bell factory, doing electrical, lifting heavy motors, having to wear cold gear to work sub freezing coolers one day, and in the blazing sun on the roof the next. In no world could he send two kids to college at anything resembling current tuition prices, but he works as hard as anyone else.
