A well-educated and emotionally-intelligent person can communicate what is likely intended by the original comment and your essential defense of it in ways that convey the facts, acknowledge the sadness of it for many, sensitively consider how this may have come to be, and, perhaps, from such a better position imagine an interdependent world that might work better for more fellow citizens, and how improved opportunities and outcomes might grow from incentives that leverage the best in people.

It wouldn't take much for me to punch out some knowing, "Yeah, it sucks, whadya gonna do?" comment. Growth generally comes from beyond the already known. It takes courage to venture there, because results aren't guaranteed, and difficulties can seem so intractable. I'm really only asking that those in a position comfortable enough to choose their words consider whether they're adding to the challenge or not, even if they aren't inclined to commit resources toward improving things.
