That tweet about wealthy, smart & hardworking is a bunch of nonsense. Because there’s a bunch of wealthy people that are wealthy because they’re cruising on their parents or grandparents hard work & aren’t lifting a finger themselves. Nor all of them are smart to begin with either. Let alone their others that got their wealth from stealing from others.
