But, if what you say is a myth, that means that nobody has ever done what you consider is a myth.

Except he did do what you consider to be a myth, him and many other businessmen and women.

Every successful small to medium sized company stared out with one person's dream, and ended up being the success they are. That is literally millions of people who tried and succeeded. Just because you think life it so hard that you should have to work to survive doesn't mean that it is impossible to succeed.

It's a "stop smelling your own ***" comment.

nothing more, nothing less.

No, that's not why it's a myth, and even more people who failed, hence why it's a myth.

People shouldn't have to work to survive in the 21st *** century.

Romney isn't man enough to have a mustache that amazing.

All 4.7% of 'em.

$5.75 is woefully inadequate in some places, more than enough in others.

The act of having to actually be presentable and stable enough to be employed means in places like here in Southern California, $5.75 will not suffice. It takes a lot of money just to work, employees have overhead too you know.

But out in the middle of Dunderfuck Alabama, where rent is $400 for a 2BD/1BTH sure.

Again, if it is so rare that people consider it a myth and/or urban legend, then explain the millions of people who succeeded in starting, operating, and maintaining successful businesses.

Yeah, you can't. You don't understand how because you expect everything to be spoon-fed to you.

Southern California is in itself it's own problem.

No amount of intelligence, either human or alien, will be able to save them from themselves.

Let's assume rent is $400 a month, add $100 for electric, $30 for water, at $530 a month just in a place.

920-530, that'd leave $390 to pay for food, medical bills, car payments/repairs, *** if you have children, their bills, school, etc.

That is not enough money to survive on!

You don't understand why it's a myth, the success rate isn't why.

The myth is that anyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and become wealthy/successful, which is very blatantly a myth.

Yes, it is enough to survive on. Medical bills and Cars are luxury items. Don't have kids if you can't afford them. Condoms, 3.99$ for 20, Kid: $8,000 YR for 18(+) years.


So-Cal isn't even the most expensive place to live, so your California hate (Read: Jealousy) has no place here. Have fun with Tornadoes.

Medical bills aren't luxury items..., nor are cars when you need one to work.

Oh not to mention car/health insurance, again not luxury items.

Or a cell phone (or land line) since your work needs to be able to get a hold of you.

Internet is a necessity for a lot of jobs now, need it to enroll in benefits, or print out paystubs, etc.

You and others are woefully delusional if you don't realize that these are necessities to live and function in society.

It's also not your place to tell others to not reproduce, and the poor are more likely to, so you are really ignorant of the way the world works.

Smoking five packs of cigarettes a day isn't a luxury it is a necessity !

I'm fine with outlawing smoking entirely, to be honest.

A lot of those issues can be solved by going to the public Library.

No, just the internet, assuming you live in an area with one that has internet access.

The library they have computers where you can read books online!

A couple millions successful people out of 300 million is still in the single digit percentile. That means an overwhelming percentage of the populace has NOT achieved that level of success. And are unlikely to. The places on top have this habit of buying out or annihilating smaller places because they can and don't share well with others.

And a again with people being forced to be productive to be allowed to exist.

Since you edited, I'll clarify.

The people who failed did not understand what it takes to run a successful business. They lacked the knowledge and analytic ability to gauge their customers and their competitors to stay afloat.

Business is not for the weak hearted, and not for somebody to come in willy-nilly and expect to be successful at it. You don't open up a clothing store in the middle of the desert and expect to have people lined up all around your shop on day one.

People have to work to be successful in life, that is one of the cold hard truths of reality. To expect to survive and thrive without effort is ludicrous at best.

I wouldn't expect you to understand, seeing how you willfully stay unemployed with a kid to support. I'm guessing that either your spouse or your parents do the actual support, and I seriously hope that it's the former, not the later. Because if you depend on your parents to support and raise your kid, then you have failed as a human being and need to seriously rethink your life before your kid grows up to be just like you. Because if you have to raise your grandchildren, one who never raised a child or supported anyone in your life, then how do you expect to do so adequately?

So what % of people need to be wealthy 90 95% ?

***just got real.

What Tornadoes? South Central Texas very rarely has any, and none in my lifetime.

People don't have a right to live either. Well unless you are that guy that had his son shot...

To our socialists? Only 1 person, themselves.

I already told you that I'm not willfully unemployed, but since you're too *** ignorant to have the reading comprehension to comprehend that I shouldn't react the way I'm about to in response to even insinuating to insult my parenting: you can go *** yourself.

As for the rest: again: bootstrap myth, neocon principle, I really never expected you to understand that it's a myth.

and don't *** ever say ***about my kid again.

Actually: they do.

Now I know what general region you live in.

So being wealthy is the only way to be successful ? Not raising a family sending your kids to college watching them get married etc. It is just to chase money.

I think both KN and Jet are full of ***. KN just has more money I guess, so he thinks he's right.

All of those require a fair bit of money. Raising and supporting kids isn't cheap.
