Your friend argues from a very democratic perspective. I recommend that you read Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind. He makes very good commentary on that very topic.
Your friend is right that it's not a person's fault which circumstances they are born into, however, that is not an excuse for how they choose to live their lives.
I was born into a family of six. I was the seventh and later there would be an eighth. We were very poor and there was lots of debt and we struggled to make ends meet.
I did not need to have a rich person hand me money. I took the situation I was given and overcame its disadvantages. Anyone can. They just have to do it.
In closing, the rich got that way somehow. Many rich people are self-made and earned their money. Let them keep it and use it as they wish.
