I've certainly noticed this. I'm not from a rich family, I was raised on welfare and I've managed to work my way into finally being able to buy my own three bedroom home in my 30s. Have a lot of friends who don't make anything near what I do, but middle class/rich parents that were able to give them a kick along the road with a house deposit telling me "oh, I'm surprised you lived in a tiny two bedroom apartment on your wage". Knowing that I have to build my own retirement really makes me resent that so much of what I earn is going to the state to pay for what, a few shitty public art sculptures that no one likes, a crumbling public transport system that somehow has all the money in the world to pay for all sorts of diversity programs but not enough to actually deliver the services everyone thinks they should, and health department bureaucrats that are more interested in bogging healthcare providers down in paperwork than actually letting them tend to the sick. It's all very tiring.
