And what was money? It was merely a temptation to commit wrong. Rich people weren’t happy. They were generally miserable and usually confused. Most of the time they didn’t even realize they were rich; almost without exception, they wrongly viewed themselves as middle-class. But there’s no such thing as middle-class. The middle class does not exist. If you believe you are part of the middle class, it just means you’re rich and insecure or poor and misinformed.

She’s right of course. It’s not fair. Love, it turns out, is as undemocratic as money, so it accumulates around people who have plenty of it already: the sane, the healthy, the lovable.

It has been estimated that in ceremonial of this kind, salutes to royalty and other distinguished personages, the opening and closing of harbours, guns fired at daybreak and sunset from ships and fortresses throughout the civilized world, some 150,000 cannons are uselessly discharged every twenty-four hours. At six francs a time this amounts to 900,000 francs a day, or 300 millions a year. A detail in passing. Meanwhile the poor continue to die of hunger.

Working pays the bills, but it doesn’t build wealth, only investing builds wealth.
When it comes to investing, there are five essential rules:
1. Contribute regularly.
2. Invest in growth assets for the long term, like shares or property.
3. Reinvest all earnings, where possible.
4. Never take it out. I don’t sell any of my long-term shares; I live off the dividends.
5. Only invest in things you understand. I avoid get rich quick schemes, managed funds and structured products.Speaker: Ashley OrmondPosted: 12 Oct 2008 at 5:43 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

The best way to change the rules is to first get the gold. If you have the gold, then you have more power. When you have the power, you are better able to enforce the real Golden Rule, the rule that states, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

As far as tithing goes, we continue to donate a large percentage to charitable organizations. It’s important to give. As my very religious friend says, “God does not need to receive, but humans need to give.” Also, the reason we give is because tithing is our way of paying our partner – God. God is the best business partner I’ve ever had. He asks for 10 percent and lets me keep the other 90 percent. You know what happens if you stop paying your partners? They stop working with you. That is why we tithe.

Many think of capitalists as pigs. And many are greedy pigs. Yet there are capitalists who do a lot of good, such as provide health care, food, transportation, energy, and communications to the world. As a capitalist who does my best to make the world a better place, my problem is with people who want to be paid for doing nothing or paid more to do less. In my opinion, a person who wants to be paid more and do less, or nothing, is also a greedy pig.
