hard work. However, regardless of how much the complaints irritate you, the fact is there's a lot to complain about. There have been huge shifts in the intervening decades. The tax system is totally different than the middle of the 20th century and greatly favors the rich, favors the poor a little, and decimates the middle class. With rising healthcare and college costs, there's been a massive transfer of wealth to administrators and corporations. Wages have been stagnant for decades. The Fed royally screwed up by keeping interest rates too low for too long.

People are drowning whether it bothers you or not, fewer and fewer children are being born in large part because our society punishes families so intensely financially, and I'm worried for the instability all this greed and mismanagement is going to cause. Massive income inequality has never been a recipe for societal stability and progress, just the opposite.
