Yep.

I know several people who created their own businesses, working 14-16 hour days, 6-7 days a week to make sure the business succeeded. Some failed and lost everything they had. Others “got lucky” after years of extremely long days/weeks without a break, and made a lot of money.

I know several doctors who worked hard in school before high school, worked insanely hard in high school to get into a good college, worked just as hard for four years of college to get into a good medical school, and then work unhealthy long hours through medical school, internship, and residency. They are now physicians and got lucky financially.

I have met two lottery winners too. They really did get lucky. Government gave them money after they made a bad bet that happened to work out. They are the exception. Most lucky people made their own luck.

Even if someone gets money with "luck", such as inheritance, the lottery, etc., the money isn't kept in a huge vault, as depicted by Disney propaganda with Scrooge McDuck.

It is invested in stocks and bonds, etc., to earn income.

The money in stocks and bonds is used to expand and hire people, fund the municipal projects, schools, and the federal government debt.

These are mostly things liberals love.

So, out of jealousy they want to steal the money that would be used to keep them happy.

Just another proof that liberalism is a mental disease.
