How many of those 40% are actually interested in working day and night, not spending all of it, and taking risk? Not saying luck and inheritance does not play a role but some people are trying very hard to not get rich. And then complain about it. Not being able to afford education is no excuse anymore, wikipedia+youtube can teach you more than the average university or book.
Woaza!!!!!
That's a bit much, hodl_2015.
In my wee years of living, I have witnessed a fuckload of bailouts to portions of society that do not deserve it... but I suppose those well off portions of society getting the bailouts are going to trickle down the benefits by providing jobs, right?
Sure, it is understandable that our existing system of the division of labor does strive to create some incentives for people to work (those lazy bastards), but surely there is a lot of problems with some basics, such as access to medical care that should something that regular peeps (I mean lazy bastards) should not have to worry about.
At the same time, there are some people who might not even work, if they were to have access to basic medical care, they would opt out of the traditional working system and sustain themselves on a small plot of land... that would not be helpful to the system that strives to provide goods and services to the upper 40% (the 1%, 9% and 30%) who are purportedly more deserving - and of course, less lazy, as you suggest to be the case.
