I wasn't talking about the government, but since you brought it up....
The government makes the rules that seem to favor the people who request the rules, those with the most money...I believe the game is set, before the peon gets in to it.... and i honestly don't see how anyone that has a brain can't see this...?
This doesn't mean that the game can't be gamed by the peon individual, and success will follow....i grew up with a saying that meant alot to me..."For some reason, the harder I worked, the luckier I got...?" An old mentor boss told me that once and I paid attention...in other words...''you make your luck'', in the lower ranks of the doggy dog world...
none of this negates what i said in my previous post....someone who is wealthy is no more a success in life or more important a person, than the person with the very least among us....I do not put the wealthiest among us on to a pedastal, because it is just plain wrong to do so, imo.
And as I have stated, the worker is the key to the rich man's wealth, and the rich man, if he were smart and ethical, would share some of what he is reaping, from their hard work, with them....happy workers produce more thus productivity improves...
I don't see anything socialist about that statement!
And welcome to the site Gray!
