What thwap said

This time with pictures.

That said, I do think it's worth fighting back against the "hard work" frame as well, particularly given how few people we're supposedly trying to reward for it would want to do most of the work that results in far less financial return. In effect the dividing line between the wealthy and the poor isn't merely who works the hardest, but who is able to reach a combined threshold of ambition, connections, effort and luck, and who falls short of that standard such as to count for nothing in the current political calculus.
