I think more of African people would understand this better where economy system can be so hard and the people struggles to make living and add values to their lives while those opportuned to breakthrough those hard times are being overweighted to grow higher due to responsibility surrounding them.
Things as such topic can only be important in an African society or other third world countries where government doesn't provide amenities or equal opportunities for all. Economic hardship in Africa society is only felt in poor homes and people who are not connected to the government but in more developed countries, the government provides enabling environment for every one not just for the few oligarchy controlling the affairs and resources of the country.
