> Wealth is accumulated through habits; at least in a free society like ours.

This is a pretty universal statement if you ask me, and used in the context of praise of someone who started with wealth.

Pointing out that it does not apply universally, and the extending the idea to state that people in poverty are not truly participants in the "free society" mentioned, is a fair development of the discussion in my opinion.
