    It's the rather deluded idea that all hardworking people will become rich and successful.

    Sometimes it is twisted into the even more deluded idea that if you don't become rich, it is always 100% your own fault

    It use to work where you could earn your way up in the company  to become  a manager or even a CEO   Back in the day it was normal for someone to work 10 to 15 years with a company and to be able to pay off there  mortgage.  Those days are gone
