AMERICAN INDUSTRIALIST ANDREW CARNEGIE WAS NO STRANGER TO GREAT WEALTH AND HE PAID ENORMOUS SUMS IN TAXES, THAT BEGS THE QUESTION, "WHY IS THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT GIVING TAX BREAKS AND SUBSIDIES TO THE HUGE MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANIES" THIS POINT IS PARTICULARLY SALIENT SINCE GAS PRICES HOVER AROUND $4 A GALLON AND THESE COMPANIES ARE REAPING RECORD PROFITS!
As early as 1868, at age 33, he drafted a memo to himself. He wrote:
"...The amassing of wealth is one of the worse species of idolatry. No
idol more debasing than the worship of money."
[35]
In order to avoid degrading himself, he wrote in the same memo he would
retire at age 35 to pursue the practice of philanthropic giving for
"...the man who dies thus rich dies disgraced." However, he did not
begin his philanthropic work in all earnest until 1881, with the gift of
a library to his hometown of Dunfermline, Scotland.
[36]
Carnegie wrote "
The Gospel of Wealth",
[37] an article in which he stated his belief that the rich should use their wealth to help enrich society.
The following is taken from one of Carnegie's memos to himself:
Man does not live by bread alone. I have known
millionaires starving for lack of the nutriment which alone can sustain
all that is human in man, and I know workmen, and many so-called poor
men, who revel in luxuries beyond the power of those millionaires to
reach. It is the mind that makes the body rich. There is no class so
pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else. Money
can only be the useful drudge of things immeasurably higher than itself.
Exalted beyond this, as it sometimes is, it remains Caliban still and
still plays the beast. My aspirations take a higher flight. Mine be it
to have contributed to the enlightenment and the joys of the mind, to
the things of the spirit, to all that tends to bring into the lives of
the toilers of Pittsburgh sweetness and light. I hold this the noblest
possible use of wealth.
[38]
In 1908, he commissioned (at no pay)
Napoleon Hill,
then a journalist, to interview more than 500 wealthy achievers to find
out the common threads of their success. Hill eventually became a
Carnegie collaborator. Their work was published in 1928 after Carnegie's
death in Hill's book
The Law of Success (
ISBN 0-87980-447-5) and in 1937,
Think and Grow Rich (
ISBN 1-59330-200-2).
The latter has not been out of print since it was first published and
has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. In 1960, Hill published
an abridged version of the book containing the Andrew Carnegie formula
for wealth creation. For years it was the only version generally
available. In 2004, Ross Cornwell published
Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised
(Second Printing 2007), which restored the book to its original
content, with slight revisions, and added comprehensive end notes, an
index, and an appendix.

HERE...,PART OF CARNEGIE'S LEGACY
HERE...,
I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY AMERICAN'S CONTINUE TO BE DECEIVED BY THESE REPUBLICAN TRAITORS TO AMERICA. THEIR GAME IS PRETTY OBVIOUS TO ANY BUNKO SQUAD WORKING TO STOP THESE RACKETEERS...,
Confidence tricks exploit typical human characteristics such as
greed,
dishonesty,
vanity,
honesty,
compassion,
credulity,
irresponsibility,
desperation and
naïveté.
As such, there is no consistent profile of a confidence trick victim;
the common factor is simply that the victim relies on the good faith of
the con artist. Victims of investment scams tend to show an incautious
level of greed and gullibility, and many con artists target the elderly,
but even alert and educated people may be taken in by other forms of
confidence trick.
[2]
Accomplices, also known as
shills,
help manipulate the mark into accepting the perpetrator's plan. In a
traditional confidence trick, the mark is led to believe that he will be
able to win money or some other prize by doing some task. The
accomplices may pretend to be strangers who have benefited from
performing the task in the past.
A greedy or dishonest victim may attempt to out-cheat the
perpetrator, eventually realizing that he or she had been manipulated
into losing from the beginning.
SO HERE'S THE DEAL AMERICA, YOU MUST REMOVE THESE REPUBLICAN TRAITORS TO AMERICA BY VOTING THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES! ROMNEY IS AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO AMERICA SINCE "W".
This is the shortened form of the
full idiom, 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't', and
means that it is often better to deal with someone or something you are
familiar with and know, even if they are not ideal, than take a risk
with an unknown person or thing.
