More good points. Ms. Lane. I also feel that there is in the uber-rich an inability to recognize the series of critical events that were pure chance. Like picking the right parents for starters.

Most people will honestly state that they work hard and most of the people who “make it.” attribute meritocracy as a major factor. They don’t like attribute their success to God having favored them, because it means that God doesn’t care about you or me as much. It is this blessed by God nonsense that provides the guilt free consciousness that justifies any taking advantage of others, because we all know that God does not enable bad people to prevail.
