Lucky spawn?  I didn't graduate cum laude and get an advanced degree in chemistry + work 50 hours a week for 20 years via luck anything.

And yes, get rid of government waste.  

Uh yes you did. 

You were lucky to be born.

You were lucky to be born not overly handicapped. 

You were lucky to not be born in a different country where things would be substantially harder, if it were possible at all. 

You were lucky to be born (at least reasonably) intelligent.

Working hard to do something, doesn't erase the billion advantages you had.

I worked very hard for my life too, but I recognize that I'm fortunate to have great parents, fortunate to have a good family that was able to support me, fortunate to have good genes that helped me, fortunate that I exist at all. None of those were any choice of mine.
