The rich could easily survive forever off the modest guaranteed interest of their fortunes.

But if you want more from life than sitting at home and watching TV all day, you have to take some initiative.

1. Only certain types of rich can do that.

2. Someone in the family history had to be a diligent/industrious/successful. And that person probably tried to pass those values down to their children and so on and so on.

If you give people wealth, no such ideals will be passed down to their children.
