Good old Forbes magazine...Owned by an old-money man so crooked he's actually running for president! Forbes is the biggest advertiser in the magazine world - because of an agreement not to print any bad news about those who buy ad space! It's some of the most despicable propaganda I've seen - opening a copy to a random page I found an article saying that laws against CFCs would make air conditioners impossible and make the economy collapse etc. Another (cover-story) article from Clinton's first term predicted that he wouldn't be re-elected - and to think that people use this magazine when making investments!
I've noticed that the big money think tanks are starting a campaign to convince the middle class that *YOU TOO* can become rich. Considering how well make-money-fast schemes work, I expect them to have some success. There's a book called "The millionaire next door" (Ironically, I do live practically next-door to a billionaire - but then again, so did slaves!) Based on this premise that got rave reviews from Forbes. I came across an article proclaiming this in - of all magazines - the Futurist. The article had nothing to do with futurism, and it basically went like this:
If you are a doctor, and you marry another doctor, have no children, eat potatoes and turnips, and have lucky investments, by the time you retire you will have one million dollars.
Wow - anybody can become a millionaire! Now why don't those damn starving orphans shut up?
