something like... "behind every rich person there's crime"

bootlegging (old days)
drugs
not paying taxes
charging high interests
buying up land for cheap then break them up & re-sell them for much higher prices (yes, this is crime!)
raising animals that suffer for food/eggs, etc. in crowded places
overpriced football/baseball players
overpriced actors/actresses (they shouldn't be paid in MILLIONS!)
many worthless politicans who don't do anything for us the people, but pocket $$$$$$$$$$ from corporations, drug companies so these people are the worst and smell really, really bad!!! (sorry Blanche Lincoln)
porn
preachers who scare people into giving them money or they will go to hell
health insurance companies who with help of federal government force us to buy their worthless policies then pay only a tiny bit of our medical costs.

... many more you can think of!!

very very very few people get rich by honest way. (I am not talking about about people who are born with silver spoons in their mouths!)
