The Rich Really Are Different Than Average

Exactly. Not my thing to exploit the poor on basic needs.

Is that why you refused to sell your book to El Ocho Cinco?

Yes, he is banned forever from the surf beach shack and reading tent.

And you sold copies of copies of the PTJ video for $500 a pop

Just saying.

The world of business/finance/money And having a clean conscience don't generally mix ;

Be very wary of anyone who acts like they can break that rule or law. Most likely they are just blowing smoke up your butt,

That Paul Tudor Jones finance documentary is overrated and boring, by the way -- All of them are.
Just some guy ranting about his past, staring at a screen, and throwing a few wisdom gum drops here and there.

I downloaded it years ago from the Internet. It was interesting to see if only because it shows PTJ in his earlier years. I think it's worth watching for that reason, but it's not worth paying for.

The rich are not different THAN average; though they may be different FROM average.

It's a good history lesson.

Care to add some color to this?

Actually, it would just have them taking their talent and wealth elsewhere where they're not harshly penalized for successfully building and controlling great amounts of wealth far better than the rest of us are able to. Laffer said it best, "You can't tax an economy into prosperity."

Look at the business world; success is generated when you create an attractive environment for top talent and give them the freedom and autonomy to do what they do best. Autocratic, rigid environments quickly lead to stagnation. This type of attitude you're espousing is short-sighted and ultimately counterproductive toward the goal of lasting prosperity.
