Why aren't successful people dependent in government?

Because the really successful own the government?

Or is it because they buy expensive toilet paper and therefore don't waste their day having to return to the bathroom for swamp ass?

It's very broad question, answer it in how decide to interpret. There is no wrong answer.

Big corporations corrupt the system to have laws written in their favor to screw smaller businesses and the people. So they are dependant on the government to rig the game for them.
 
Obviously the answer is yes, because more affluent folks can afford better alcohol. Are we on the right track?

I'm ready to start drinking. Let's turn this into a booze thread. I have a CA Shiraz I'm going to open and have with spinach and blue cheese chicken pizza.

I'm N.
G&T on deck.
Or since you mentioned the syrah, we do have a nice Del Rio Oregon syrah.
Decisions.
 
Pizza is in the oven and I didn't even have a government minder to help me. I feel so successful.
 
Is this a purchased pizza, or did you make it yourself? If so, you are quite the over-achiever.

I have some Rebel Rouser IPA and have already eaten some Thai Peanut Sauce Chicken Tacos. Let us drink and speak of government and wealth.
 
Thai peanut sauce chicken tacos! Holy Moley! We're having Asian lettuce wraps.

Seems like, due to the time difference, I'm a little behind you guys. Ketchupp!

The successful today are more dependant ON the government than at any time in human history, especially the hard working self made variety. The government not only doesn't take their wealth away completely, they prevent the peasants and other governments from doing it. Maybe the generational nobles kept their shit back in the day, but only until they pissed the wrong king off and if you weren't born into it, forget it.

Ironic that the government who pioneered the revolutionary environment that allows the freedom and upward mobility that we all take for granted is vilified mercilessly by the people who benefit most from the protections it provides. Humans are greedy as fvck. It's never enough. If the government actually squeezed the peasants as hard as the wealthy and their minions wanted, we might actually see them storm the gates and shit would get real.

The system is rigged, sure as shit, but it's an intentional balance struck. The ones truly running the show need the Dems and Pubs doing what they do so we don't ever swing too far, which would create mass chaos. We fight over stupid shit and move the needle inches while the richest control the big needles that build incomprehensible wealth. I'm not even mad, it's fvcking amazing.

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but here goes:

They try harder, have more ambition, were more successful in school (due to those prior two), and don't blame others and don't quit when they fail.
