Chapter 4. MYTH#2: RICH PEOPLE ARE ASSHOLES

The media loves to point out that “rich people are ass holes.”Why
do they say this?

Because it makes poor people feel better about themselves.
Don’t believe what you hear from the media. Why not find out for
yourself? The majority of wealthy people I know are some of the nicest, happiest, most generous people I know. I challenge you to get out there and actually meet some of them and see if you find out differently. I don’t think you will.

My mentor said to me years ago, “Sure, there are rich people who
commit suicide, but I’m damn sure there are alot more poor people
who kill themselves than rich people.”

Now, are there some rich assholes? Sure, there are rich people who
are assholes, just like there are poor people who are ass holes.The
character of a person has nothing to do with whether she is rich or poor.

AREN’T RICH PEOPLE MEAN
AND GREEDY?

If you actually meet some rich people,
you’ll find out they give back. They give to
charities and often have businesses that
provide for communities in terms of providing
jobs, as well as tax revenue for the city and
state.

If you don’t like
the rich, you can
forget about ever
becoming
one of us.

How can they do it? Because they aren’t thinking ONLY about
themselves. Since they have more than enough, they CAN think
about other people and therefore make a difference in the lives of
many. Rich people who use their wealth for the betterment of others
can accomplish so much more, which brings even more success and
happiness in other areas.

Think about it. Look at Bill Gates—now you can say whatever you
want about him, that Microsoft is a monopoly, that he’s greedy, that
he’s “crushing small business” and taking over the world—whatever.

I dare you to try to find anyone who has been MORE charitable than
Bill Gates. In the years since Microsoft went public, Gates has donated
billions of dollars to charities. I guess the only one more charitable
would be Warren Buffet. He gives away 97% of his net worth—billions
and billions of dollars!

There are poor people who will STILL criticize these men. They feel
justified in their stupidity by saying, “Hell, they’re RICH! They SHOULD
give their money away.”

So, instead, I want to know—what the HELL have poor people
done for society lately? Nothing! Why? Because they can’t afford to do
anything! And yet they try to sit in judgment of those who ARE doing
something because they CAN. People are fxxking nuts.
I’ve found that it’s the same poor people, who sit in judgment of
rich people like this, that have a lot welfare mentality.
Poor people have a sense of entitlement. They
think the world owes them something.They are
selfish as hell.

These same people wouldn’t be caught dead
reading a book like this, acquiring new knowledge
and trying to improve their miserable lives. They’re
the same people who wouldn’t set foot in a public
library if their lives depended on it (a place where
they could LEARN SKILLS to improve their financial
situation—for FREE!)

financial situation? Discover what
high-income skill you were born to do.

They’re living paycheck-to-paycheck, and yet they still would
rather spend every last penny on junk food, video games, romance
novels, cigarettes, and illegal drugs.They waste their time watching
Jerry Springer reruns on TV and surfing porn on the Internet.
In fact, it’s been my experience that it’s poor people whohavelied,
cheated, and stolen from me throughout the years.

They are the salesmen trying to sell me crapIdon’tneed. The con-
artists who try to rip me off when I go to get my car fixed.The lazy
employees who surf the Internet and work as little as possible when
the boss isn’t looking. The Medicaid recipients who clog up emergency
rooms when they have a slight case of the sniffles or a headache—and
force healthcare costs to skyrocket for everyone else.

Now, are ALL poor people lazy and are
ALL rich people generous? Of course not.Just
don’t let the media brainwash you.Why not
find out yourself what rich people are really
like? Go and talk to some of them.

WON’T MONEY CHANGE
WHO I AM?
