I've met more assholes from privileged backgrounds than those who had to struggle, too.
Definitely a good number of Affluenza sufferers out there - having just about everything and respecting just about nothing.
I do think that neglect and abuse can breed assholes who mimic the behavior and priorities of their asshole parents.
But, agree that sometimes those same circumstances build character and produce some of the most compassionate people who are fully committed to never being anything like their parents.
Course, plenty of loving and responsible parents end up with asshole kids, too.
Hell, for me, it's really hard to know what makes people into assholes, and heroes, and everything in between.
