Not defending his views generally, but I'd be surprised if Raab doesn't have a good work ethic as he was a solicitor at Linklaters - it's essentially a highly skilled sweat shop.
I'd imagine that this experience (working somewhere that values very hard work) probably makes him less tolerant / understanding of those who don't want to work til they bleed, though, which is likely part of the problem

It is fine if he doesn't like people that don't work very hard, but basing economic policy on liking/not liking people is not something I am a huge fan of.
Busting your balls taking care of your family doing 3 shitty jobs with no benefits and worrying about your pension and healthcare, and not being able to upskill due to lack of time/money is not exactly the situation he is in.
If he backed his position with cheaper training and childcare for upskilling for working people/apprecenticeships for over 25s I'd have some respect, but it feels a little too much like shitting from a great height to me based on his voting record on benefits etc.

Ah, the "self-made man" type of Tory.

Raab is barely an improvement, from deluded and workshy to the height of privilege [rich expensive uni man doing the "just work harder" chat] and economic neoliberalism/austerity for the common scum as that is how they see us*
