Are you American? I don't know about other countries, but here in the US there's a cultural trope that our economic system finnacially rewards hard work & effort. It's hard to point to a specific piece of propaganda, but it's definitely baked into our social mythology.
OP is saying that the myth is a lie, and that hard work doesn't really guarantee you anything, in the United States.
