Plenty of them are just liars. They'll look you dead in the eye and tell you "When I was your age, I worked 29 hours a day and 10 days per week".

Others simply don't want to acknowledge that the nature of their "work" is play. Flying from party to party with their gaggle of C-level friends, wining and dining clients and patrons, getting a Bill Clinton style office break between angry calls to your junior managers to "work harder!", playing Sim City or Factorio with a billion dollars in state money unconcerned with the end result because you already took out a big chunk as your share, golfing...

None of these assholes are doing manual labor. They're all just schmoozing with one another and collecting a vig on the cash that passes through their hands.

Not to mention they have people to take care of their cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. Regular people do all that work themselves.

Plus they parasite the society.
