Of course they do.  In a (quasi) capitalist society such as ours,
there are people who are prepared to work hard for their success and
are happy, those who aren't prepared to work hard and are happy, and
those who aren't prepared to work hard but aren't happy.  It is this
last group, those who aren't prepared to work hard and aren't happy,
that cause the problems.  They see the people who work hard succees,
get money, drive nice cars, and live in nice houses and want that for
themselves too.  But since they aren't prepared to work for it, they
have to find other ways to get them.  Some people steal openly, others
cry for "social reform" and "labour unions" and "pay equality".

PS - There are people who validly fight for social reforms, for the
benefit of mankind rather than themselves.  "pay equality" does not
refer to pay equity, a good thing, which refers to women being paid
the same as men in a given occupation; pay equality is where
secretaries make as much money as doctors because both are needed for
society to function.
