That may be true, but if you take the set of all people who have worked hard, not all of them will be rich. Being a hard worker is not a requirement to be rich and there are certainly people who are rich not through any hard work of their own (inheritances, for instance). To paint everyone who is poor as likely being lazy is insulting.



Where did I say poor people are lazy? I keep getting downvoted for this comment, but in my opinion the ones who downvote me are the ones being classist for interpreting it that way. This is basic "logic 101" man, "If you work hard, you have high chance of becoming rich" does not equal to "If you are poor, you have high chance of being lazy".
