Well, that's good news. I guess the cause of poverty must simply be laziness.

That's convenient, because it allows me to demonize the lower economic classes without having to address the systemic inequality that rewards capital ownership over labor.

My dad told me I wasn't afraid at all of hard work. I had no problem lying down next to it and going to sleep.

Value is created by some combination of 1) working 2) taking risks.

Entertaining as it is, participating on HackerNews is not a path to making money.

I honestly cannot fathom the relevance of your comment. Can you please explain how any of that relates to a discussion of the value of capitalism?
