Pounding a hammer every day for a boss and eating everything you make is not success. That is getting by. Success takes intelligence and creativity. It also takes the ability to recognize opportunities, the ability to plan for opportunities and the ability to take calculated risks and seize upon those opportunities to create additional wealth.
If a man wants to make something more of his life, other than pounding a hammer every day for some boss man, he will have to be a smart, knowledgeable, calculated risk taker. Even the person who inherits wealth will either 1) have a hired professional who is a smart, knowledgeable, calculated risk taker, or he will rise to the occasion and become this himself. Otherwise, that inherited wealth, often family wealth, will be squandered in only a few generations, if not less.
So, what does this mean? It means that there will always be 2 classes of people who will never be successful in their own right: 1) Those with average to low intelligence and 2) those who may possess high intelligence but are too timid to ever put the wheels in motion to build wealth. Fascism, Socialism, Communism, Democracy, Federalism, or any other "ism" is NEVER going to eliminate that gap. Average or below average, timid people are doomed to be the food upon which the more astute among us feast.
so you celebrate parasites and moochers as long as they are billionaires.
But you condemn parasites and moochers if they are not wealthy.
Is it just the taste of a rich man's dick that you crave?
