Do you really think it has anything to do with abilities? Hard work and diligence do not make wealth, my friend. No man is self made. He uses the
systems that were in place upon his birth, using the language and technology invented by people who came before. There are but a few examples in all
of history of a pauper pulling himself up by his bootstraps to create his own empire. Most of the time people hold your viewpoint because they believe
that with a little ingenuity and elbow grease, they too will be abundantly rich some day. It's a myth. Yes, it does happen. But, it's probably not
going to happen to you. And when I say probably, I mean that it's almost impossible. Why? Because the elite don't want it to happen and the system
that they have put into place that is so effective, that most of us can't even see it anymore. They perpetuate this myth to keep average Joe plugging
away at his job so that someday, he'll get to be a member of the club. But that day never comes. The ruling elite controls our information, and thus
our minds. We buy what they tell us we want to buy. Do we need most of it? Of course not! Who needs a new iPod every year? What's the difference
between coke or pepsi when what you really need is water?
The only enemy of the current system is critical thought. If you think for yourself, they lose their grip on your mind. Unfortunately enough for us,
it's been estimated that only about 15% of the population thinks critically on a regular basis. The rest of us allow ourselves to be spoon fed so
that these invisible rulers can get what they need from us and maintain their power. It's sad, but true. So do yourself (and everyone else) a favor
and face the facts: instead of blindly believing the cultural myths that keep the current system in place, educate yourself! Use your mind and think!
