Exactly right. More than half our society now thinks they are owed something by the "rich" or the "government".
Just read one of those things on FB about "What I learned by Being around the rich" - and everything was negative. Not one word about how hard they work, the risks they take, their contributions to charities and the arts and other things that people take for granted. It is just digging the hole deeper about why it is "bad" to be "rich" and what an awful person you are if you happen to be rich.
Like my stepson. Just convinced that there is a "shortcut" to success, instead of realizing that it is the effort and time you put into something that makes you successful.
