    The notion that those who are poor and suffering need to be punished into better performance, but those who are rich and comfortable need to be coddled into better performance.

      I'll add to that:

      When you're poor and you get help from friends and/or government, it's cheating and mooching. When you're rich and influential while doing it, it's networking and using resources available to you.
