<<Like the idea that they are wealthy only because they worked so much harder than everyone else>>

which is counter to Romney's implication...........people are lazy and like being on the dole.

To be fair, that idea is common among the very wealthy. Like the idea that they are wealthy only because they worked so much harder than everyone else, it reinforces their world view that they are just very special and deserve what they have.


Yup. Its part of their entitlement.

"...special and deserve what they have."
Everyone is and everyone does, to the extent the stuff they have was acquired by honest means.
