[QUOTE="Proximity, post: 7145297, member: 589997"] LOL, when have I ever done that? That's a page from your gameplan champ. It's not an attempt, but oh wait, I forgot, you're psychic, right? Can you PLEASE tell me what color I'm think of right now, I really want to know! I would argue 75% of the super rich didn't "earn" more of their income at all.
