Who said you have to do everything "right" in life. Honestly, people who are always trying to do things "right" end up being "wronged" over and over. Nice guys finish last is not just a saying. You don't have to be a scumbag sleazeball in business, but you do need balls and an edge.

Sorry, if that is really true then I would just assume finish last.

^ the whole point of my thread was that everyone bitches about the poor ripping off the system.... the poor should work, all they do is sit around and collect welfare, etc.....

You rarely hear anyone say.... hey... look at the contractors rip off the sytem multiple times more on one job than 5 welfare families.....

it seems like it is accepted to rip it off if you are a contractor but you are the scum of the earth if you do it through welfare.

I personally think both suck...

You don't have to do everything "right." I choose to have morals and somehow I don't get screwed over time and time again.

More to the point of this thread is what Scot said in his last post - people complain about the poor ripping off the system but you hear squat about business people doing the same.

By your logic, poor people are getting screwed over and in order to simply survive (as opposed to getting rich as a business person), they need to scam the system.
