Herman Cain to Occupy Wall Street protesters: If you're not rich 'blame yourself

[njanvi]

Dude, that is exactly the truth.  Rich are rich because they take risks and work hard, and 9 times out of 10 are smarter.  I have employees, I make substantially more money than them, but I am smarter, and I take all of the risk.  It is just easier to step up the scale when you start making a certain amount.  Doors seem to open.  I tell you what, going from $40k to $80k a year was way harder than going from $80k to $160k.  Just the way it is, it's like the addage, it takes money to make money to run a business.  Well, the same is true in life.  Once you get a little more money, it's easier to accrue more wealth.  On a macro level one may feel inclined to feel bad for the poor, but when you look at each case, more often than not, the poor are poor because they made/make bad decisions.  I have a few that work for me now, and once they're in that position, they are easily exploited.

Happy to hear you hire dummies!!!
Dude come on, how presumptuous on your part declaring that you are smarter than them.
Rich are fortunate first and foremost. Have you taken advantage of your breaks in life better than others? Probably. But to declare ur self smarter than your employees and assume that all poor people are lazy and make bad decisions is presumptuous and pompous on your part

Ahh yes, the subconscious racism approach. Have to cover all the angles.

People do not like to hear the truth unfortunately. You're not rich because you're either too stupid or too lazy to put in the work necessary to become rich. Most people are not stupid.

They bought that bullshit ass DREAM. Just because you go to college does not automatically entitle you to riches. How about contributing something to society of value and making money instead of bitching about it. Oh and who works 80 hours a week and does not make money by the way?

They did exactly what the "you're poor because you're lazy" people advised them to do. People like you. They followed your advice basically. They worked their asses off and still came up short. I don't understand this fantasy land that some people live in. They tried hard to contribute to society, there are a lot of Master degrees, a lot of teachers, nurses, etc on that site. These are not lazy beer drinkers who don't want to leave the couch. Who works 80 hours a week and still finds themselves poor? Too many.

Nothing like poor guys who will never be rich buying the bullshit that the wealthy are selling them to keep them working 80hrs a week to create more profits for the capital holders

Dude, that is exactly the truth.  Rich are rich because they take risks and work hard

Are you saying that if  we (300 mill Americans )   take risks and work hard  we are all going to be rich one day ?

''If you're not rich 'blame yourself''

Most retarded statement I've ever heard.

You don't believe you control your own destiny??

Sold! Must have an iron-clad, non-mugshot guarantee, tho.

The select few who work the smartest & hardest will.

The sad fact is deeeeep down most folks ( including you) really don't want to be rich, you just don't think you deserve to and the thought of it is scary and overwhelming.

You know the old motto "anything is possible," yeah, that is utter bullshit. All the hard work in the world wont make most people the next Beethoven, Da Vinci, or Einstein. We are limited by our genetic and environment. Thus, the fact that people think that EVERYONE could become a genius or a millionaire is utter horseshit.

yeah

to a certain extent you don't control your own destiny. You control what is within the limit of your human potential, but not beyond what you're capable of becoming. like I said, all the hard work in the world won't make most people win a nobel prize. Its the way it is. Just accept it.

Yes you can but just think about ,we can't all be rich, as a society  we need doctors ,teachers, construction workers, garbage man ,mail man ,cleaners ,bus drivers ...etc

I have a fuck load of friends with BAC and Maitrises who don't make a lot of money at all.

doesn't make university appealing to me

and there s a shitload of people with bac and masters who make a living just fine... maturity, empathy, Spirituality are needed in real life too to get jobs and keep them, not just degrees/diplomas... lots of kids with diplomas but who ve been so badly raised by parents that they simply cant deal with the adult world.

I think you're a troll, no way can you really believe the second part. The truth is that a lot of the poor don't want to own a yacht, they want to be able to buy food for their children, pay for their medicine, have a house, pay for school supplies, and these needs aren't being met. If you're going to say that the women who cry themselves to sleep every night because they can't afford to buy diapers for their baby because the credit cards are maxed are in that position because deep down they really don't want to buy basic necessities for their children, then sir, you are a fucking dumbass.

[Stavios]

absolutely

but my point is, my friends who are construction workers make more in general than people with degrees

me: I am poor for another 3 months after that I'll make a good living
