"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.

You can get comfortable working for somebody else. Hell, you might even get rich. But the fact is we have stopped telling our kids that they can be business owners too. You dont HAVE to work for somebody else to "make it". I know people who make their living going to Garage Sales and flipping things other people dont want. You dont have a guaranteed paycheck, no. But you have no cap on your paycheck either. The work you put in for yourself goes to you. Not anybody else.

Nobody tells their kids that any more. Schools dont teach it.
