Sure we're the "land of opportunity" but my fear is that we're not telling anyone anything else. It's a free for all. Things are out of hand. No responsibility. No accountability. Just get out and get the money of anyone stupid enough to give it to you because it's not illegal to take what's GIVEN to you. Meanwhile that's why we're in the worst economical shape we've been in decades. If everyone's got a business, who's our patrons, after everyone's done preying on each other's carcass?

because we are sending a dangerous message to the Nigerians and others, creating vultures, existing only to prey, here and around the world, the idea that Americans are just greedy snake-bellied consumers who will buy into anything, anyone can make a fast buck and not adhere to an ounce of scruples or honesty and the streets are paved with gold, that they're "entitled" to your money. It's "helping each other." How DARE you not want to do that?! Key tool for scammers, MLMs and Nigerian scams.

self-esteem movement and the infectious worm infiltrating the mind of anyone willing to lose touch with reality, the worm of "creating your own business." We are MOST worthwhile existence is the one who doesn't work for someone else (GOD FORBID) but creates their own business. A dangerous message without a serious reality check...

that we're all "entitled" to riches and unlimited wealth. Business has no real scruples/ We can se who these big company CEO who need bailouts are. They are out of touch with reality. Making money is all they can feel for. It's not about them. It's not about you. It's about the bottom line. So everyone is taught to tap into their "inner entrepeneur" and sell their souls. I blame this ever growing...

The B2B Marketing, MLM are hilarious! They prey on human curiosity and greed and they're all over YouTube under "scam" because they know people are curious as to who the scammers are!!! They prey on the American male lust for images of naked hot chicks and lesbian action and everyone is a brainwashed drone who was sold on the false mass delusion...
