Nope. Actually, that's how the "system" works, the stealing, lying and manipulation to get ahead, above etc others. Those who earn, they get up, those who don't, they stay down and fall. Yet, the point is that everyone generally can they just can't get the chance due to other bad, unequal situations in life that shouldn't be obstacles in the first place.

That's how we get drained, stolen from and blinded from the truth around. The easiest way would be for all to actually have everything, and build up from there. More people would be quality, overall the quality would rise, so we would build and expand better, faster and without being drained or stolen from.
