I'd have to say stupid people.
I know a few of them... and no, my saying that they are stupid is not an insult. They genuinely have it hard because they don't understand how to make it easier.
My stupid friends...
Don't get the connection between their boyfriend's drinking and driving and his fitness to be a parent or boyfriend, end up paying hundreds in his bail bonds just so he can go to work in the morning wondering why God is punishing them... then...
Don't understand how birth control works and where to get it and if explained to them, still don't understand the urgency of getting it before they have sex and later...
Get pregnant, don't understand the urgency OF seeing a doctor when they start randomly bleeding or seeing one every month, don't understand how important it is to not drink or abuse substances during pregnancy and...
Have difficult pregnancies, lose jobs that would have otherwise accommodated due to their ignorance of the policies of the job and their lack of willingness to read the company handbook because they don't understand the benefits of knowing the rules and...
have difficult deliveries and a difficult time raising the kid because they don't understand that when a kid turns colors or doesn't talk until he is 2, he might need to see a Physician, they don't understand the concept of red-dye and sugar in fruit juice leading to hyperactive behavior...
They don't understand that certain jobs require certain skills, they don't understand how people's minds operate and they don't get the concept of spending their money on paying their bills instead of spending it on tattoos and $100 sneakers.
Stupid people quite literally have a hard time making connections between cause and effect as well as short-term and long-term and the concept of foresight. They often live in the moment and don't even think to ask for advice (when they do, they are saying "tell me what I want to hear"). They don't listen to people that truly wish to help them and they live very difficult lives.
I would go as far as to compare them to dogs that are punished too long after they poo on the carpet. If you punish them immediately, they will understand that they shouldn't poo on the carpet, but if you punish them an hour afterwards, they are clueless as to why you're angry. Stupid people don't always get punished immediately, they have a hard time making connections that way.
Smart people not only learn from their mistakes but the mistakes of others.
Stupid people have a hard time learning from one or the other.
All arguments about how smart people are misunderstood aside, I'd say that stupid people, in the truest and least derogatory sense of the word, have it harder because they simply don't understand or it takes them much longer to understand.
Who has it harder, smart people or stupid people?
