moneygrubbers_101
dafremen For those of you who haven't dealt with clueless moneygrubbers before, here is a quick intro.

In the world of moneygrubbers there are three kinds:

1. Those who want to have money.
2. Those who finally have money.
3. And those who have always had money.

Type 1: Will do whatever they have to (within whatever moral code they deem acceptable) to become rich enough to have and do anything they want. Unfortunately, this either means working long hours doing boring things that make a buck, or ripping people off and justifying it. End result? They have to buy things to entertain company with, because they either have no stories to tell, no friends to tell them to or boring friends who are in the same predicament as they are. Money buys them company and for those who spent their lives at the office, interesting stories (that the antique dealer told them) to make up for the fact that they have no life and have done nothing worth telling that didn't involve at least 3 months of planning up front and a travel agent.

Type 2: Will do whatever they can to keep the money they have. These are the folks who have graduated from Type 1 in their lifetimes. They're usually old and stingy or douche bags or both. (There are exceptions to every rule..they are few. No seriously.) They are very often contemptuous of the ultra rich for their excess and suspicious of the poor because of their lack. How desperately they fear that both want to take their shit.

Type 3: Were born into money and know that the difference between them and the other two types, is that they have time to buy experiences, not items and shitty pre-packaged vacations, so that they can seem like interesting people..even though deep down, they aren't. They're just bored children who are bored with buying everything they ever wanted and are now working on buying things they didn't know they could buy when they were younger. They will swear up and down that "if you have to ask the price you shouldn't" and "speaking of money is tacky", but watch them devour a Last Will and Testament in a courtroom like fire ants eating a honey-covered toad carcass, and you'll know exactly the sort of "genteel" sort you're dealing with.

CONCLUSION
Most moneygrubbers fail to realize that if even if they only slept 4 hours per night 7 nights a week, they could only invest 140 hours per week into the system. Far short of the 1000 man hour per week lifestyles that these "up and comers" are seeking after..or living.

They don't want to see that they have to get those hours from somewhere...from someone. Most don't care to admit to that sort of thievery. At least not the ones who claim to have a conscience. Other moneygrubbers claim that "only the strong survive", even though most are too weak to resist the chance at sucking the days out of a stranger's life like some sort of ghoul.

And then the people being sucked dry speak up..in LARGE numbers: "Fuck you. We don't need your fucking money. We have each other. We have our voices!"

Quoth the moneygrubbers: "Fuck me? No..fuck you! I don't need voices. I have money and money is my voice. Let me get my bought congressmen right on that."

That friends, concludes Moneygrubbers 101. Remember, money is our voice now, so let's all shut the fuck up unless you've got the balls for big bank take little bank.

Amen.
