Parents use all available means at their disposal to promote their children. Those parents with more means are able promote their children more, and we assume successfully on the average. This obviously is at odds with the ideal of equal opportunity.
More subtly, is it leading to oligopoly in our government, and the corresponding distortions and corruptions of democracy (or any form of government)? If so, we have a biological explanation to a political problem, with the corollary that this is going to be a very difficult problem to solve.
