“The rich are rich because of tenacity, virtue, and hard work”

…is a myth peddled by the 1%, to justify their position over the masses and to indoctrinate everyone else with a personal guilt about their miserable position in society.

Most rich are rich because of theft, monopolies and inheritance. Capitalism doesn’t defend hard work. It defends the consolidation of wealth against the masses who aspire to it. Satoshi tried to tell us in the Genesis Block.
