"Behind every great fortune is a great crime."

I know it to be true from the people I know. It's yet another reason we don't have ads on saidit.

And some fortunes are obtained by discipline and handwork. However, I've noticed an odd trend recently in articles stating how the richest of people dropped out of college and became self-made billionaires. As well as homeless people becoming millionaires. I wonder what the agenda is with these headlines?

Hey I never said crime was easy.

The agenda with those headlines is "work harder, and you can make it too" which for most just means slaving away more hours for their boss and not really getting much for it. Basically, corporate propaganda. Not to say that people can't make it, but it's overemphasized.

I agree, working hard whilst in debt really gets you nowhere if you cannot pay off the interest. There's an overt anger between employees and employers these days (though there are GREAT employers who give you a 401k, securities, healthcare, a good wage, etc,. It's always been this way though and since the early 1980's it has only gotten worse.
