Take 100 rich people and ask them "how hard did you work to get there?", do you think most of them will say "haha i didn't work hard at all! You don't need to work hard to get rich!"
My point was, all other conditions being equal, the people who try hard in their life tend to be more successful that the ones that don't.
Which is why if you take the rich people set and observe how much they work, it is obviously going to be that they work hard.
It sounds classist only if you interpret it that way.
That may be true, but if you take the set of all people who have worked hard, not all of them will be rich. Being a hard worker is not a requirement to be rich and there are certainly people who are rich not through any hard work of their own (inheritances, for instance). To paint everyone who is poor as likely being lazy is insulting.
Where did I say poor people are lazy? I keep getting downvoted for this comment, but in my opinion the ones who downvote me are the ones being classist for interpreting it that way. This is basic "logic 101" man, "If you work hard, you have high chance of becoming rich" does not equal to "If you are poor, you have high chance of being lazy".
