This is part of life. People who do nothing become jealous of those who do something.
Not too different from a person working hard and having the government come in and take the fruits of their hard labor for distribution to those who didn't want to work.
Not too different from a nation that develops and prospers but the people go liberal, gut national defense. Sure enough, some other nation will come along and take it.
So, this could be turned into a first lesson on capitalism v. socializm at a very young age.
All true, but something a two and a half year old will accept and understand?
Not likely.
Thanks for the perspective though.
