It isn't so high and mighty and that's why my jaw drops when people say normal people can't do that. But there is more to it like having correct insurance, making sure lawyers review documents you sign, setting up your business correctly so someone can't sue you and take it all from you.I'm not saying back breaking work isnt the foundation for prosperity, but it's isn't the end of it either. People need to educate themselves on how business works, than jump in and do it. And don't tell me poor people can't cause they have no money. My grandmother and grandfater wore cardboard in thier shoes and both excelled and running thier own business later on.
Hostile, your idea of a business at present is renting property. All that crap you used to spiel equates to nothing more than: 'owning a big house and renting it out to somebody who will pay'. When you say it in English, it doesn't sound so high-and-mighty, does it?
But I chose real estate, my grandmother worked in a factory and went to school at night to do womens hair. When she finished school she opened her own shop, than hired someone to do the work for her.
My grandfather started by working in a coal mine, evetually he owned that coal mine through his use of the business structure and by becoming a partner to eventually owning the coal mine. Unfortunately I didn't ever see one red cent of that, but that's another story.
What I'm saying is pick any business, do it part time until you do it long enough to start making some good money, than share the idea with others and take a chunk. Do this enough and they do the work and you make some money. It's not exploitation because you've created a system that allows them to do exactly the same thing without all the startup work.
It's actually helping people. It's a matter of perspective, helping people help themselves instead of relying on the government or some communal thing.
