Obviously this is a joke, but it leads to the real answer: everyone has a different perspective and none of them are wrong.
The big business owner feels like they worked hard enough to get where they are, and they deserve what they earn and shouldn't have to share it with anyone.
The needy elderly cannot survive on their own, and they feel like their lifetime of hard work entitles them to support from the government.
The poverty-stricken child who found their way out of the ghetto and received a college degree doesn't want others to face the same obstacles, and petitions the government for minority support for higher education.
None of these people/perspectives is wrong. I once read a quote that said the real truth is the sum of all perspectives. I think it applies well to politics.
