> If society wants to help poor kids, it should use tax money to pay for people to help those kids. Forcing other kids to give up their possible achievements is exploitation.

And using tax money to pay for people to help talented kids is not exploitation?

I said "if society wants it". At least society has a democratic choice. I grant that it can still amount to exploitation for some people.

Also for society as whole perhaps even an economic argument could be made, like the benefits for society of helping those kids could be higher than the costs. Then in summary nobodies tax money would be misappropriated.
