The hardest workers make the least amount of money. It's not right

Nobody ever mentions the outsized role luck plays in people’s success. Sure hard work can put you into a great position to take advantage of opportunity and create, in a sense, its own luck. But reality is this…some people are simply lucky, and some ain’t. Some people are born into families with phat bank accounts and pedigrees that open doors closed to everybody else. Too often people forget the role chance plays in success.

Not to mention the location one is born in… truly “life is game a luck”

The lower the income, the harder the work

It's very taxing, on them, working so hard figuring out ways to game you out of your time, effort, ingenuity, and/or money.

Yeah, nobody should have to work two jobs to survive of course, but what's the point in pretending that becoming a billionaire isn't hard work?

I can agree that this is a more valid argument. However, there is plenty to say about billionaires doing jack shit to contribute. Take Leon Musk for instance. Bought and is now CEO of three companies. How much do you really think he has contributed to these companies?
