Crazy how only 0.000002% of the American population decided to work really hard so that they could become billionaires. Can't believe everyone is so lazy

Being born into obscene wealth doesn't mean you didn't work hard, it just means you have the opportunity to channel that work into lucrative avenues. As a kid, it means mom and dad aren't both working at night so they can help with homework and engage in your studies

It means that if you need medications or therapy to overcome behavioral issues, those are taken care of. As you get older, it means you don't have to work a job at night to help out your family, falling behind on homework and missing out on extra curriculars

It means your parents are either familiar with how to make yourself look good when applying to colleges, or can hire a tutor who can. You have the time and resources to study for and retake the SATs.

It means that after you graduate college, you either have direct connections to jobs or at the very least a whole lot of people you've known your whole life who can guide you through the application process

These are all the tangible things! Being around wealth means youre likely to speak the same social language as the wealthy and powerful people youll encounter. Like attracts like. Itll feel like just two folks getting along, because it is! But it's fostered by the shared language

No one is saying no wealthy person has ever worked hard. We're saying that "working hard" is a negligible factor. Most people work hard. Most people are not billionaires.

Every billionaire is a policy failure

You don't have to qualify being nice to me

I was upset at first and then I read the reply and I was like "u know what fair"

The difference between someone with a billion dollars and someone with nothing is a billion dollars. The difference between someone with a billion dollars and someone with a million dollars is also, roughly, a billion dollars.
