First Shot

I'm almost speechless when it comes to talking about a topic as big as wealth, it's so colored by the senseless and atavistic pursuit that it engenders - that it needs to be broken down a bit so that we have something to talk about. First, I'm mostly interested in how an individual creates it, and my commentary will always be from the perspective of the little guy, the people. Second, the creation of wealth is certainly possible, and it's not unreasonable to consider, the hardest part is just filtering out the garbage that is already in the wind. Third, my assumption is that 90 percent of what I read in print and on line is a lie, and by lie I mean that someone is trying to misguide you for their own benefit regarless of the potential harm to you.

Corruption is not the fault of major corporations, or governments, or sinister cabals of the already wealthy seeking the destruction of all that is holy and pure in the world, it's the fault of people, individuals who have traded their brains, or would trad almost anything for the acquisition of wealth. As we talk about wealth let's be clear that blame is the enemy of accountability and the primary diversionary tool of deceivers. So, let's stand up and be accountable for what we say, what we do, and who we do it to. Because, as Saul Alinsky stated in his writings, "if the ends don't justify the means, what does?" Therefore, my goal is to be candid, honest, and faithful to my blog, afterall I am the Wealthmonger!
