Oh, a lot of it too is that they can't correlate the right traits to get the stuff too. I remember seeing a recent study where state lotteries are seeing record participation, with the average new york household spending $10 a month on it. These people are so conditioned to everything in life being "luck" and not "skill" based that they think the only way you can even get to be middle-class is through a one in a million chance.
In most cases it takes time and money to get more of it later on. For most people they want to skip out on the former and just assume that the latter can fix all problems.
All of that is true, but God also gave us free will to be able to strive past our circumstances, and most people don't use it and default to the deterministic forces in their life. That doesn't mean any kindergartener can grow up to be an astronaut (hereditary personality traits alone eliminate 90% of them from even wanting to be one), but exercise of free will, achieving incremental and occasionally drastic improvement, is how families and civilizations improve generationally.
