Something like aggressive taxes on the uber-rich and comprehensive welfare for the poor, y’know?

This is why aggressive estate taxes are so incredibly critical. People shouldn't be professional descendants. And of course welfare provides both ladder and safety net. The fools who are trying to abolish one or both are working against social mobility.
