haha nice one XD . I have nothing but contempt for these bastards. I hope the government does default, and then lynches them (the federal officials) . To quote JFK: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

I also read about that. $2,600,000 worth of bitcoins is a small fortune. I know if I had $2,600,000 I could live on that for life and earn six figures of passive income per year through investments with that amount of money.

I started watching Breaking Bad and seeing the characters making all that cash from selling drugs reinforces that crime pays. It doesn't pay to follow the rules because the rules destroyed socioeconomic mobility.

Hemp could create most of what petroleum could. Hemp was made illegal to protect the timber industry, oil industry, and synthetic fabric industry. Marijuana which is in the same general species was made illegal to protect the pharmaceutical industry.

How many people who are wealthy broke laws? Or lived during times when there was more opportunity, meritocracy, less regulation, and no (or low) licensing requirements? At least 99% of the world's wealthy are blue bloods, plutocrats, former criminals, drug lords, dictators, drug dealers, smugglers, former bootleggers, or committed injustices. Many others are the close associates and family members of the people I mentioned. Then the rest are immoral celebrities, whores that got famous with porn, or millionaire executives that exploit everyone else.

Who does Obamacare benefit? The politicians, the government, and the insurance companies that get more profit at the expense of the taxpayers. More millions in bonuses for all the CEOs and an increased revenue stream for the health insurance corporations provided by the fascist government. I am proud to admit that if I was ever self-employed or at a job without health insurance, I wouldn't buy Obamacare and support the fascist government or the extortionate corporations or the corrupt executives that profiteer of human health.

Profiteering off health insurance is immoral and I view Obamacare and health insurance companies worse than drug dealers.

The people who caused the financial crisis never got prosecuted. A person selling marijuana or even growing the plant can be jailed, fined, and have their life ruined.

The system is designed to oppress people and destroy socioeconomic mobility. The truth is that the only way to become wealthy is to break laws.

True. This is why I want to leave the US. People are crying for universal healthcare and all that jazz, all the while we are becoming a police state. No thank you. I will take Thailand any day over this. At least there is a lot to do, and many entrepreneurs too.
