    So this person has to either become these monsters to be able to fight for his own life or get squashed and beaten all hes life.

    When you are no body coming from nothing and you try to raise your voice and make a change 99% of the time you get destroyed before you even manage to make your 1st step at achieving something just because you are willing to try not because you might succeed but because you are WILLING to try to have a better life....

    Fuck off with your goals and useless advices............ srsly.

    Don't be ridiculous. Acquiring useful special skills usually demands either a) natural talent and/or b) much more work than most people are willing to do.

    The differences in IQ and skill potential ensure that that won't happen. Just like most people will never become master pianists, no matter how hard they would practice, if they lack the inherent musical talent.

    The goal should be to be able to afford rent and all expenses for himself. After that keep on adding things i.e. get a car, get a house/flat, better job, etc. as you want more things. You're also going to need to give some examples for the other things because otherwise it just looks just like a "woe is me" post.

    The 1% overlords always gets away with everything so if feminazi crowd push this then i only see one thing happening.
    upper middle class turning middle class, middle class turning working class, working class turning slaves again.

    And then the 1% overlords go full circle and return factories to the west and start making a 8 out of that circle.
    my guess is that they go to muslim part of the world after that when it gets secure for more than oil and chemical factories.

    Well where do you see a person who is fresh out of college or still in college starting? CEO of a multi-million corporation? You start low and then move up as time goes by.

    Edit: also, half your life to get a job that pays enough to survive is bullshit unless you count people getting content with shit conditions or otherwise too lazy to get a useful skill.

Maybe we would be better off as a society if that money went to people who were contributing to the greater good of society like scientists or farmers or doctors, rather than people who were doing ultimately nothing.
    Shows your utter ignorance. Goldman Sachs is owned by its shareholders, who invest in stocks like Goldman Sachs in order to generate investment income (i.e wealth generation). State Teacher's Union pension plans, Carpenters Unions, public pensions, health&welfare funds, disability funds, your grandparents, your parent, you probably (if you are old enough) are all invested in companies like Goldman Sachs through your 401k/mutual fund investments in order make a profit and provide retirement/post-retirement income.

    The funny thing about your kind of ignorance is that you fail to understand that everything you are blathering on about ("greater good", the contributions of doctors, scientists, farmers, etc) couldn't function without the access to capital provided by the capital markets. Where would the financing come from to build a hospital? Where would a farmer go to get a loan to buy a tractor or to purchase a farm to begin with? Where would you go to get a mortgage or a car loan without the capital markets? Who would buy your mortgage in the secondary market and repackage it as an income yielding security for retirement age folks looking for a consistent return on their investment?

    I am utterly astounded that you can take the hysteria-based talking points of the far left and try to pass them off as facts.

    You, in your ignorance, think that providing access to capital markets and creating investment solutions is somehow less legitimate than whatever it is you are doing. See my comment above

    Doubt you know thousands of people well enough to make the claim you did, but here you go.

    http://www.monster.com/jobs/q-chief-...icer-jobs.aspx

    Granted that search has a bunch of exec asst to CEO jobs, and some totally unrelated, but I counted over 6 CEO positions before I had scrolled halfway down that page.

    You honestly don't understand how everyone can't be CEO's? It's not because the job is soo hard that there are so few of them. It's that there isn't that many needed.


    btw you should check your link again. Many of the listing aren't even the CEO position.....

    The entire western world needs much more investment. There's a right way to do this. Confiscating wealth isn't the right way.

    However, I still believe we should let people challenge banksters to duels.

    I think it's funny that there are still people who think billionaires throwing money at people to earn them more money is "earning" it. At a certain point of wealth, your money just makes more money without you having to put any work in. That is where most people's beef lies.

    You broke your back to earn that middle class wage? Good for you. You earned it. But far too many people in the middle class think that when people complain about the wealthy, that those people somehow have a beef with the hard working middle class and want to take THEIR money.

    If you do even a little bit of digging into Trump's history, you'll find that he was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth, and the only reason he even still has wealth is... it was given to him. Not only that, but nearly all children of billionaires are able to be successful, meanwhile Trump's daddy bailed him out of millions in debt. He stopped managing his own businesses, at which point his businesses actually managed to start being successful. Trump throws money at people to run businesses in his stead and makes money off of it. He knows when he runs businesses, they fail. He now just does reality TV and slaps his name on some brands.

    And then people say they want him as president because he's a "good businessman". There's not enough facepalms to express how utterly disgusted I am with what people view as a "hard working, good businessman".

    Thanks for proving yet again which of us is truly wrong here, since the point stands those jobs are available if these people you know are willing to put their money where there mouth is.
