It depends on what they did to get there. Your assumption that everyone who isn't successful is lazy, or waited for the government to give them direction or redistribute other people's money is false. There are not enough jobs for everyone. People who thought they had steady jobs lost them due to their employers moving overseas. People in poor areas got lousy educations that prevented them from doing well. A lot of people with a lot of money did nothing for it. Others did wrong things for their money. Most of the really rich profited from other people's labor, not their own. And they didn't pay those people a living wage. The thought that anyone willing to work can find work that pays a living age is a pretty one; it's just not true. Nor is the idea that what people have is due to their merit, ability, or sweat. Is it wrong to feel superior to unlucky people? Yes. Is it wrong to feel superior as a human to decent people? yes. You may have superior income, that doesn't mean you're a better person (doesn't mean you're a worse person, depending on whether you made the money doing something worthwhile, and didn't unfairly profit from the labors of others, and wether you're a decent human being). Having a superior income does NOT a superior person make. FEELING superior is often a sign of moral inferiority.

Because of the new inventions that come out every year. Okey have you heard of the self vacum. Where the vacum cleans the floor by it self. That is an example of lazyness. We Americans became lazy because every year, new products that make our lives easier are past on to our next generation. Which makes them all lazy.

in some ways, the Internet
the ideology that what you are is a product of outside influences, which lowers a persons accountability, which lowers ones ambitions to better themselves.
