What success I have is partly because the
research/writing/editing/marketing services I provide, plus the speed
and confidentiality I offer, can't realistically be off-shored or done
by cheaper beginners in the biz...that and the fact that most of my
clients are long-time clients.

I don't make any of my money by manipulating the market, the assets of
others, off-shoring, firing people or otherwise engaging in the
predatory practices of the Wall Street/Banking/Corporate Higher Echelon
types.

Most people make their money from doing a good job and providing a
service people want, that is my point.
I am not happy with money making money but that is really a pretty
small minority of the people on the Forbes 400.

Money making money isn't bad. The gripe I have is the corruption.

Take a career of a working person. At 17 finishing high school. Gets
more specialized education either academically or a trade. They work,
they accumulate savings and earned wealth. They get a start, then a
family. They put out like slave, feeding the family, paying the taxes
and if wise, saving for themselves. Pick up a hobbies that pays,
investing and read books and learn how to manage your savings.

But you become 50s, the bones start to creak, the physical energy drops
off, kids gone....time to evolve your life. Well, if you saved and
invested, just work less hours, less time and live longer. Others need
your capital to make business work, you invest in that and they pay you
a small return (dividend).

Hey, it is fair, as 4% dividend for the capital is a better deal than
35% income tax with more taxes extra to the government for a load of
bull****.

I am not an anarchist, but taxes should be limited to supporting roads,
schools, water, sewer and stuff that directly supports the economy
across the board. No need for 50% of what DC does and supporting union
corruption and entitlement, and those pure corruption bailouts...

Fact is governments in the west have become too big and corrupt for our
own good.
