The tax code should be written so that people can understand them and be able to do their own taxes without professional help. Same with laws. Just my 2 cents.

Those law makers are just like you and also see themselves as fuuture billionaires, thats the problem, an entire society built on hand shakes and a boys club of the rich and the aspiring rich working together to exploit the masses and keep them down.

The Billionaires are the goal post movers in your analogy. The tiny team and the professional just your rich and poor people. Wish I could elaborate more, know some people work at Billionaire sketch firm, they got stories. And yes, not ALL are awful, just a lot of the small group.

Yea I agree. Same with any laws really they are written in legalese a language in and of itself.



Many of the rich people teach you how to be successful and some show you exactly how they do it and how you can do the same step by step. Few have built their entire careers in helping others to become rich. You can find plenty online. So that statement is a lie.
You seem to have this jaded opinion that if one is bad they all are bad.
I dont doubt there are bad evil motherfuckers out there who are into secret illuminati enslave the world types but without evidence you are just spouting unfounded opinions.



Billionaires by virtue would have to have done some major industry change through the votes of the people. The votes being dollars for their products and services. Every time you are buying something you are casting a yes vote for that. A billionaire is someone usually with a lot of those yes votes. Not only in money but number of people who are willing to work for them.
Most people views are skewed when they talk about others anyway. If you never met or have inside knowledge on how most billionaires operate then all you have is opinions. I don't like jumping to conclusions untill I have substantial insight.

Anyway this is a tangent away from the main thread and discussing rich vs poor, good vs bad is for another topic altogether.

I have :/ They want you to think it's tangential, Especially the Evangelist

The secret to being wealthy isn't even a secret at all, it's well known, the problem is that not many people are willing to live that lifestyle

There's a reason that the Protestants and the Jews are far wealthier per capita than other religions or creeds. It's because of a culture of diligence, frugality, and higher education. Protestants became extremely wealthy in the 17th century to the present by working their asses off every single day, but instead of pissing away their profits on indulgences and extravagance, they re-invested every single penny they made.

You want to be wealthy? Stop wasting money on bullshit and start working harder.

yeah that's true, there's no secret to keeping in shape either yet obesity rates are incredibly high

people don't like working hard and come up with endless excuses instead of making choices to improve

Exactly, and obesity is incredibly simple compared to generating wealth. I think it's an innate psychological defense mechanism to be unable to objectively criticize yourself and arrive at the logical answer. People tend to want solutions (having more money or being healthier) without any kind of change to their lifestyle or comfort.

I became wealthy by pretty much doing the exact opposite of this advice.

Ideas come from the minds of people pretending to be philosophers, probably IDK I'm not a thought scientist.
