Those who are successful tend to believe that success is deserved. Those who are at the top like to think they have earned the place. Those who are rich think they have a right to be rich and tend to condemn the entitlement of those who are supported by their taxpayers’ money.
I am a believer in capitalism and the market economy. But that there could be something like a meritocracy – or that something like that would even be desirable: I don’t think so.
