Some people have higher earning potential than others. Does that make them superior?

No. It makes the world unfair. But the OP seemed to presume that the world was fair.

That’s a common wrong presumption that these “poor people are actually rich” people have: that the world is fair.

It’s also a popular assumption on message boards populated by high-income folks for obvious reasons.
