minus-squarePons_Aelius@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down4·7 months agoMainly because there is no such thing as self made anything. We all live in a society, no one outside hunter gathers are self made. A self made rich person did not pass the laws that allowed them to amass wealth. A self made rich person did not educate themselves. A self made rich person did not enforce the laws stopping other people from taking their shit. A self made rich person did not diagnose and treat their health issues to allow them to be healthy. A self made rich person did not grow the food that allowed them to work on something other than their own survival.
