I read an article once that the leading indicator of where you fall on the political spectrum is how much you believe those that are wealthy got there by luck or priveledge vs "hard work".
And "hard work" is not the right term... I know PLENTY of working poor that work their asses off to barely pay the rent. I feel guilty at times that I get paid 4 times what they do, work far less hours doing far less strenuous work. But nobody expects, say, a landscaping labourer to amass a fortune no matter how many hours they put in unless they own the business...
