I've always loved Kenneth Galbraith's observation about money and work. We're told rich people need more money as an 'incentive' to work harder, like lower taxes and higher incomes. Poor people on the other hand are said to need less money as an incentive to work harder. You can figure out who came up with these ideas (hint: it wasn't the poor people.) Those who do well often attribute that to their own hard work and merit. They're usually not cleaning shit out of public toilets.
