Rich People

Enough said. Clearly you're just the asshole son of an asshole-y rich asshole. Asshole.

I agree with OP on a certain level, but not on the scale he's talking about. Once you get to like Rothschild or Rockefeller status, then yes, a lot of the wealth is made in conniving ways and it produces shitty people. But not in the average-level successful business person like what's being discussed in this thread.

Great your in college...first step to becoming wealthy (for most people obviously zuckerberg, gates, are anomalies). College is an investment that pays dividends throughout your lifetime. Get the highest grades possible, study a solid major that actually will land you a good job (aka not english, art, etc). Im talking about a 3.5 gPA+.

Your at the beginning of your career. Get good internships and work hard maybe you will get an offer at least you will be able to build a resume. No need to hate on the wealthy just because they have what you want. Trust me man....grass is always greener on the other side. I know plenty of very very wealth people who live normal lives...yea they might have a yacht or a ferrari but they still have normal problems that everyone deals with.

I got a 2.36 GPA and am clearing 6 figures anyways. Fuck grades, get party and tons of kitty. But definitely pick a good major. Lots of majors out there that you think will make you rich, wont. I almost went into Economics, glad I didn't because my friend got almost a 4.0 and she can't get a good job anyways.

And define rich. My parents helped me with college so I could consider myself rich, but I feel like I at least don't need to feel like everything I've got in life is because I'm a white male (what's with the trend on hating white men these days?). It's like anything we fucking work for we got because of our gender and race. Fuck that.

Even if my parents didn't help me pay for school and I graduated with 50k in debt, I'd still be out of debt and doing well right now.

That's what this conversation should be about: THE DOWNFALLS OF BEING A WHITE MALE. I'm sure only 95% of the posters here fall under that category anyways..

Again...you might be an anomaly. But a 2.36 GPA is pretty horrible. If you were an employer would you higher that kid or the kid with a 3.5. But clearing 'six figures' isn't even close to rich. I as well as friends made well above 100k first / second year out of school. Being 'rich' is being able to do whatever you want with no regards to money. If you want to go buy a 100k car, or a vacation house...you can just because you have money. Thats being rich. Bill gates rich...your average upper middle class family...not rich.

I can't stand fucks like you who hate on 'white people' because were white males. Its 2014...people are over race. I work for a black MD who makes a shit ton of money. How does being a white male really give you an advantage at this point in time? It doesnt. People judge others at this point based on performance.

First off, check your meter.

Secondly, you're argung that tycoons like owners of monetary systems for entire countries aren't by and large assholes? People who profit off of pillaging other countries and then pass that profit and ethical code to their heirs aren't usually pretty fucked up people? Probably not 100% of the top earners are fucked up, but it seems to be the case pretty frequently.

How old are you? It's not a monetary system. Monetary system is interest rates set by the central bank of your country. Stop trying to sound smart to back up your poorly constructed thesis. Most rich people who made their own money are pretty down to earth. 86% of rich people made their own money and weren't born into wealth.

Your view of rich people seem to be influenced by that of Jordan Belfort and other corrupt bankers etc. When in reality they make a very small percentage of dick heads in the corporate world. Look at Bill Gates he makes $250 a second and still donates $28 Billion a year.

First of all, don't condescend based on age. It's wholly irrelevant to the issue. But to answer your irrelevant question, I'm 20.

More to the point, you just reinforced my argument with your attempt at undermining my "thesis". I realize that the majority of people earn and build their own wealth, and that's exactly what I said. I'm referring specifically to that small percentage you cited.

Furthermore, I know what a monetary system is, and again, I'm referring to exactly that (i.e. The Federal Reserve and other private banks). The people who founded these banks which eventually wound up dictating interest rates, taxes, and entire economic systems, are usually greedy assholes.

And don't think that the generous givings of billionaires are entirely benevolent. A lot of mega-profitable organizations operate under the guise of non-profits.

Pick up a book sometime.
