This comment is insulting and has no basis in fact.
There is no evidence that rich people work harder than poor people. In fact the opposite is far more likely to be true given the unique stresses of manual labour.
And there is no evidence that the driver of success is providing for their offspring. There are a whole range of factors at play.
- WalterBright 5y ago> There is no evidence that rich people work harder than poor people. It's not about working hard, it's about working smart. I.e. leverage. For example, my patio door kept getting stuck. I spend a lot of time with a file and chisel trying and failing to get it to fit properly. Finally, I bought a grinder for a few bucks from the pawn shop and had it fixed in a couple minutes, and it looked a lot better, too.

- missedthecue 5y agoYou don't work harder than south east Asian ship breakers, who work 16 hour shifts in carsophaguses of asbestos and rust. But you earn orders of magnitude more. Income and wealth aren't solely functions of who worked the hardest and they never have been.
