JF, No "lotteries" there, just damn hard work.

Bull. Hard work and good fortune go hand-in-hand. Can't have class mobility without both.

I cry foul, however, when those who've already made it want to tax those who are trying to make it. Punish hard work so that only those of good fortune will win. Talk about the antithesis of class mobility.

Untrue. Hard work alone makes nobody. 90%+ of people who work had will not get rich in their lifetimes. A good portion of it is luck/opportunities.
