You know what you greatest part of a Free Enterprise system is?
The opportunity/ability to fail.
Yes, being able to fail! Without failure, most of us would never learn from our mistakes (and some of us still don't); from failure we learn that we ourselves are not perfect and *hopefully* to try again...
In a world where nobody can be richer than anyone else because "that's just not fair," no one can better themselves through success or even failure.
The principle applies to this situation, "he who does not work, does not eat." (those who do work, do eat: the worker is worthy of their wages, etc).
Everyone on the ToO started out at the same economic place: broke. They were "born equal," so to speak. However, not everyone chose to use the same methods that were available to all in order to amass wealth.
The rich are rich because they've applied themselves and reaped the reward. They sowed the knowledge or methods (be it stocks or lots of posting, coming up with/winning prizes, shops, etc) and reaped the reward: money.
Not everyone chose to do the most "economically sound" (for lack of a better term) way of amassing wealth and so those people didn't make money. They didn't work at it, so they didn't get the reward. (cause to effect relationship)
If they had merely asked, I am sure there are some who would have told them (or even have told them) of ways to make money. The most obvious one is posting, so that's what most people do. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's just the bottom level of many.
And were is Corey?!
