It is a concept that supposedly is needed in order for us to succeed. As a concept, it is used to bury the fact that many of our “successful” citizens (read rich) actually inherited their monies or “knew someone”. It is also used to explain poverty…. That is, if you are not successful, it is your own fault because you did not work hard enough.
To people like him, it’s valuable for people to get used to being submissive, learn the futility of questioning authority, and earn just enough to shut up and not be a “financial burden” on the country.
It was common for european colonizers to say this about indigenous people, basically meaning that they don’t participate in the world economy. Or, said another way, they’re not being exploited for profits by said european colonizers, which is obviously bad.

Basically victim blaming and on the flip side of the coin pretending that the presence of wealth proves that they deserve what they own.
It’s not victim blaming to say something is your fault for choosing the wrong parents to be born to! Sheesh!

Your hard work makes rich people richer.
