If we lived in a fair and just society then that would be true. But we don’t. We live in one where the odds are stacked in favour of the rich, and they rake it in whilst the poor stay poor. You only have to look at the writers strike in Hollywood to see my point.
We don’t live in a society where if I have an idea and work hard I can make it; we live in a feudal one where the sense of entitlement at the top has led to serfdom at the bottom.
I could be a refugee fleeing a war zone with an idea that could make me billions but the rich bankrolled a wall to keep me out so I will never see it to fruition.
We call the poor leeches on society but when all they ask is the chance to make something of themselves and it is denied by hoarders who is the real leech?
