If a cat makes it into a den full of mice, those mice are going to die. There's no favoritism, it's just how reality works.
People who work harder have a strong tendency to be more successful at the thing they're working at. This is just as true for the high school athlete that puts in 4 extra hours on the weekend as it is for the person working 60-80 hours/week.

And if I may, this is a major problem. Society has been built such that many people have been able to successfully exist without an innate acceptable of reality. They've been able to do this because they've never had to actually contend with what it means to poke a bear (hint: you'll get eaten) and over time its colored their view of everything as being negotiable (with little to no respect for reality).
But just as smoking crack for years on end has certain realities that you cannot get away with, people working harder than you also has certain realities (such as them giving up family time but making more money).
