> The problem is so many want luxuries brought to them on a silver platter.

Yeah, but it's not like they just want these luxuries for no reason. In a consumerist society, we indoctrinate them from birth to want things.

The "winners" in our society win in part because they are able to convince the "losers" to buy stuff that they don't really need.

It's pretty awful and dishonest to then have the "winners" criticize the losers for the very actions / traits that enriched the "winners".
