Agree.
The difference is that the responsible person gets what they EARN through hard work, ambition, and character.
The irresponsible try to seize it from others because they are lazy, do not want to work, lack personal responsibility, and want to blame others for their station in life.
One leads to success, one leads to failure. You choose.

Yes, but I also think this group thinks they deserve more than they should... For example they bitch and whine when the price of anything goes up, but aren't willing to take a pay cut. Minimum wage isn't enough to survive on right now, but if you raised it then businesses would just raise prices so they can keep the same profit.

That's just dumb.
There's plenty of responsible people who have been abject failures.
Just as there have been plenty of lazy, irresponsible people who have become rich and successful.

It's the propagation of this myth of causation that is probably one of our biggest problems.
