Face it, you'll never be rich

Why do Americans still believe in the rags-to-riches fairy tale?

That's funny, I don't know a lot of people, yet I know three Americans that
started with nothing, one is worth $27M,
another nearly $1M, the last one a paltry $700K. Their average age? 42.

I see it quite often here at the University.

Students, in particular from China and India and some from Russia coming
here, getting their degree and making bundles of money when they get out.

They were probably fairly well off financially in their home countries,
but really start raking it in once they get here.

Did I mention they also work *very* hard?

No you didn't. But you didn't mention that Americans
work harder getting Indian idiots from India to here,
since the morons are more dangerous with nuclear reactors
than they are with long-distance phone calls.

Or as AT&T would say. We know the knowledge, we have the power,
we hire scientists, we hire morons.

And IBM's auto-reply: There are no magic beans in buisness.
There is CPM bundled with UNIX-crapomatic and there are economists.
