Calling it a birth lottery implies that it's unfair. It's not a lottery, it's your family that set you up.

This is why I like the way things are here in Norway. Sure it's still a huge advantage to be born into a wealthy family or just a good one, but at least no matter who you are you can get an education and healthcare, dental etc.
I don't mind paying a bit more taxes for that.
