    lol

    those fukks are smart enough to realise that the system their a part of is the most corrupt instrument in the history of mankind and probably choose to not want to take part for the greater good...

    You guys seriously need to get clued on as to how the federal reserve bank operates.

    Only then will you realise that you never had a chance of perpetuating true prosperity from the very beginning...

    Over the last couple of decades or so, Republicans and Democrats got together and decided/allowed to ship all the manufacturing jobs overseas, jobs that only called for a high school diploma...And now we live with the results of those decisions.

    And I'm supposed to be pissed at some inncer city turd getting a free phone and $200 a month in food stamps?

    Love when people post crap like that, if you make $40,000 the person who posts has to make $130,000 if they live in New York City and if they live in a tax free state $168,000. You never see this crap on Facebook or when you have to use Facebook to make a comment, because anyone who says I pay more taxes than you gross is full of crap. People who are rich don't post in a forum and if they are rich they don't brag about it.

    (The $130,000 if you live in NYC to pay $40,000 in taxes and $168,000 if you live in a tax free state to pay $40,000 in taxes are both estimates, because the fact is most people with that kind of money have multiple deductions that reduce that figure by a lot even if they pay property tax.)

    the guys on the strip are on here, and they make way more than most SBR regs: nice houses, nice cars, own bunch of businesses .. one guy is one of the original owners of a CC company based here (CreditOne Bank), and he will absolutely die if he doesn't gamble big - so he is on this forum scanning for plays.

    bummers that most Vegas guys with bux piss away a crapload at the poker tables .. they come here looking for an angle on the games to kill time while dumping to another donkey.

    Love this.

    I'm a forex trader, and once you know the whole game is rigged, you can really make a nice profit off of it. Hoping soon I'll be one of those 90 million soon.

    That happened because of the minimum wage, high taxes and high regulations

    Haha...

    You really think that even 5% of those 90 million are financially knowledgeable (or even care enough) to want to change themselves?? Your kidding nobody here pal...

    There lies good reason why in America the disparity between rich and poor far exceeds that of any other western country...

    I think you read it wrong, I was agreeing with you.

    I can't concern myself about those people who don't want to change themselves for the better. I can only worry about my family and myself. The good thing is that I was raised in a country that promotes financial prosperity and independence, and since we already know the game is rigged, I've learned to play the game the way the winning side plays it as opposed to the ones that never win and bitch about never winning.

    I'm a long ways away, but at least I'm positioned well now. I couldn't say the same thing years ago.

    Can see you point but at the same time people such as yourself rely on those with less, otherwise you wouldn't be in that position to begin with (its just the way this 20 trillion dollar blackhole capitalist model works and has done so for the past 300 years).

    Sure you structured yourself efficiently but (as someone who is invested in a successful business) if we didn't have the myriad of devoted people under us then it would never have happened to begin with. Never forget that.

    In short, we are all in this together. That's far too easy to forget sometimes as wilful ignorance is all around us...GL

    I don't understand why you think it's only possible to succeed if you step on other people. And "I only rely on those with less"?? Do tell.

    How I currently make my money...

    Job - I wait tables in a fine dining restaurant. People with enough money to comfortably eat there tip me based on how much they spent and how well they think I did. Multi-Millionaires sign my paychecks for my meager wage.

    Forex - I place my money where I think the trend is going with one world currency vs another. If I'm right, I make money. Nobody but me benefits or detriments from my actions there.

    I'm hoping to make the latter my only source of income. The more I make, the more able I am to be charitable to the areas I want to be charitable to. I've done Kiva loans for over six years now (I love it because it truly goes to those who want to help themselves, and I can actually see the fruits of their labor at times).

    So it's very possible to move forward financially without harming anyone. The 1980s mentality of climbing the corporate ladder at all costs is becoming more and more antiquated by the day.

    I admire your ideal that we're all in this together, but I would argue all day that realistically we are certainly not.
