MrScorpio's sure-fire method to getting rich

The first step is quite simple… Most importantly, YOU MUST BE BORN FROM RICH PARENTS.

Then viola, you're loaded! Life will be easy from here on out and the world will be your oyster. After you're born rich you're then free to look down on all the rubes that didn't hit the genetic lottery.

The perks to being born rich:

If you're in the spotlight from you're only talent for being rich, people will give you stuff for free and doors will open for you that won't open for other people.

You get your very own political party.

People will worship you.

You'll get to hang out with other genetic lottery winners in your own generation.

You'll get the best of schools and neat job opportunities after your education is done.

You're entitled to look down on poor people and demean them for being lazy and unmotivated, even as they cook your food and serve it to you, manicure your lawn and lose their homes and livelihoods.

The police will protect you above everyone else.

You get to act recklessly with fewer repercussions than everyone else.

As you grow older, accumulate more of other people's money through tax breaks and leveraged buy outs, you're free to pursue politics. Never mind that you don't know how the political system is supposed to work, you're RICH! That makes you uniquely qualified to either change the direction of the country through your political activism, OR whether you decide to take office for yourself. You're automatically granted expert status.

As a rich person, you'll get to live in your own bubble, free from the outside influence of normal work-a-day physics. You learn that the world revolves and around you and if poor people try to take your bubble away, then you get to declare that those people are undeserving and don't know what doing is fundamentally wrong.

You get to free pass to ignore the environment, demean social welfare programs, hoard and accumulate lots and lot of possessions and play around the world.

Your opinions are listened to by important people and it doesn't matter if you don't know what you're talking about. People will constantly try to make unworkable things work for you, whether you ask for them or not.

You're a role model now. The perfect picture of success.

You are on top.

So, what are you waiting for? All of that money isn't going to jump into into your pocket on its own… It's time to get rich, people…

If you're not rich now, you only have yourself and your lazy parents to blame.
