Unfortunately, this is also not true. How many hard working people lost their asses just now when the economy tanked? Meanwhile a bunch of rich investors that spend a few hours each day gambling on stocks are just slightly less rich after they got their bailouts.
Or how about someone like Cory for example. He's probably one of the hardest working people I know. Who do you think works harder, Cory or the CEO of Exxon-Mobile? My money is on Cory (and the millions of hard working people like him). Where's Cory's billions of dollars?
But you are right that life isn't fair. My suggestion is not that everyone share the wealth (communism). My suggestion is just that when the unfairness strikes there's a liveable minimum you're ensured to get. Food, shelter, medical, and education. Because even hard-working folks can end up on the downside of things, and they deserve a baseline opportunity to climb back up the ladder.
