Yup. Competition.

Unfair competition - a loaded deck of cards from the cradle to the grave.

In what way unfair?

....... anyone can be rich if they are motivated.

From the "freedom" thread - you have just made my point for me pretty effectively :-

"But mostly how the word is used today, even on forums likes this, freedom becomes an ideologically driven bullshit concept that makes little sense. It comes to denote a means by which man transcends the chain of cause and effect/empiricism which dictates the workings of everything else in the known universe (quantum mechanics (possibly partially) aside ?) - and confers on him a God like status that gives him the ability to act outside of time and space and to be unaffected by them.
I say the term is used ideologically because it becomes a means by which inequalities are legitimated - if you find yourself at the bottom of the heap its no-one elses fault but your own buddy - don't you know that this is the land of the free/we live in a free country etc etc."
