[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 832500, member: 31608"] I see, and agree with, your point - on the level of individuals. However, in the more abstract sense of nations, I would argue that it is not that cut and dry - and person from a less advantaged country does not have the same guarantees of (to purposefully simplify it for brevity, not disrespect) "hard work translates to prosperity." A larger question, as well, is why there are advantaged and disadvantaged countries - is it because some countries work harder, or is it because of natural imbalances of things like resources, technology, and wealth? The opportunity available to the individual citizen is, at least in this train of thought, a direct result of the benefits that the host country reaps from disadvantaging other countries. [/QUOTE]
