Laziness divided by opportunity = cannot divide by zero.

Laziness may or may not have anything to do with it. Many rich people are lazy too. But rich people certainly do not hate success.

Poverty exists because of bad values.

I thought poverty was due to lack of money.

That's like saying Feminism was due to lack of dicks. ;-)

Isn't it ironic?

Peter P says

It is all too human to find comfort in blame. As a result, the goal to lift oneself out of poverty is entirely forgotten. On the other hand, winners do not waste time with excuses.

It's also all to human to blame others' misfortune on themselves, to be selfish and inconsiderate once one is "above" the struggle to make a living, etc.

Justifying the rich and powerful is the oldest philosophical endeavour known to man.

What did the Walton heirs do to merit their inherited wealth?

That's the funniest thing I have ever heard.
I guess being a man is due to lack of a vagina. What a relief. Who needs the plumbing problems.

No, but perhaps it is time for everybody to stop justifying and start creating wealth.

Meritocracy is as overrated as reason. Who is there to decide merit anyway?

The Walton could inherit their wealth because the original wealth creator said so.

What's the endgame? If everybody is wealthy, who collects the trash, serves the burgers, and changes the adult diapers?

Plenty of people living in a Thailand landfill working their asses off to find enough garbage to salvage or eat. 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, year after year. Should they start GarbageUber to find the best scrap yards?

They should certainly try. Working harder will not guarantee success.
