Actually the BEST way to acquire wealth is the way the Koch brothers and Mitt Romney did.. Inherit it. Then do what is necessary to rig the system to rake in even more ..which would be much easier if one were the POTUS

We need to tax the rich fairly to provide free education, including free pre school with hot lunches, universal health care, and help the poor get on their feet, etc. We need to shore up both our social systems which are collapsing and our physical infrastructure. We are being really stupid. Education gives one a better chance at a healthy life. My entire clan is very well educated and no one is rich. We all live middle class lives. On purpose. No one pursues money, we purse a quality of life. We could pursue money (we have the resume's) , they are all lawyers and PHD scientist's, but would have to sell their souls to do it and refuse. We need a large educated middle class with few rich and few poor. That should be our goal. A healthy smart middle class society which avoids conspicuous consumption.
