I think the most infuriating part of that view is that for most middle or lower class people, it's true. Work more hours or take more clients and you will get more money. It's quite limited to average jobs. 

But you won't break into multi-generarional wealth that way. That comes from being an actual visionary and redefining an industry, or living so frugally its not enjoyable for decades.

Don't even get me started. I'll go off.

The insidious think is hard work and income are 100% correlated, just not 1 to 1. If you take 2 cashiers and 1 works harder than the other, the hard worker will make more money. Either they work more shifts or they work hard getting their bachelors at night and become a shift manager or something.

But the highest paid hardest working cashier will never make more than the lowest paid laziest dermatologist. So does that mean hard work is useless? No. Hard work is always the best answer to improve your income. But this straw man is hardwork is 1 to 1 with income or is useless and we need socialism. The truth is hard work is important and one of the variables we most control but not the only factor.
