Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 22, 2013

I know, but I’m not sayin’….

Oh, man, did I get it wrong, I found the oldest Phil I could find and kneed him…Man, dyslexia sucks….

I’m trying to figure out how to tax stupidity! That should produce a pretty substantial cash flow!

Those who tell don’t knowand those who know don’t tell.

I know plenty of needs. I just don’t have the means to fill them for people, hence I’m poor.

Besides, he’s wrong. The surest way of getting rich is to have rich parents.

HogFan: We can’t tax stupidity … stupidity taxes us.

I can tell you how to get rich for only $5000.00. If I tell 200 people, then I’ll be a millionaire!

One time-honored way to get rich, much used recently: Find where money is insufficiently guarded, and loot what you can.. For instance, in God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, the character Norman Mushari “ recalled what his favorite professor, Leonard Leech, once told him about getting ahead in law. Leech said, just as a airplane pilot should always be looking for places to land, so should a lawyer be looking for situations where large amounts of money were about to change hands.”

To end up with a small fortune, you start out with a large fortune.

Or do as the other guy did: discover that a big corporation needs something right now, convince a (soon-to-be-former) friend to sell it to you fairly cheap, and fast-talk the big corporation into leasing the thing from you. Then, every time something new or innovative appears in the marketplace, either buy the company outright or create a quick knock-off version, and use the market dominance you got courtesy of the big corporation (y’know, the big corporation that everybody bought from because timid middle managers believed nobody ever got fired for buying that three-letter brand) to wipe out any competition.

yes the hard part is to convince people they need something!!!!

An how long has dad been waiting?

There is a very old profession you can go into…

you won’t get rich, but live off of the state etc.

And inherit wealth from your family as, luckily for him, he did.

The oldest profession makes money, you just have to keep up your looks or put other people to work(for a commision)

Or invent something that you can make for a dime, sell for a dollar and is habit-forming (just ask McDonalds).

I would say it’s find a “need” and fill it. That can encompass wants and whims as well as genuine needs.

Danae like some before may create a need.

A good way to get rich quick.Write a book about it and go on the speaking circuit.NAKED.Snow is expected in the Texas Panhandle tonight. Just here we start at 75 (midnight) and to about 40 in the afternoon.I wont be naked for long.You know a good salesman?Its one who can sell ice to eskimoes. (Yes I know its an old joke but it is true)

I have found a need in my area, but it’s hard to reach the target demographic. I actually have a small business and we are struggling.

@Varnes Good one!….trouble is at this stage in the game of life for danae she might be able to cause irrepairable damage to an innocent by standers knee caps!…..aside from that the secret to wealth as I see it is NEVER under any circumstances let family know you have anything money-wise!

If you vote for stupid government, you’re going to get stupid government. Stop voting for stupid government.

NightShade, Oh, I get it, the word is grown…..Richard Russel, I’ve never heard that o0ne before…I am so stealing it…..dukedoug, nice comeback…Potrzebie, hang in there, it’s always darkest before the dawn….

Don’t find a need, make one! Does anyone really need iPods or other such items? Do we really need phones smarter than 99% of their users? Are we really better off with tablets and laptops thinner than a take-out menu pamphlet? Rampant consumerism at it’s most gross—in terms of profit and the people who “just can’t live without these gadgets!”

The easiest way to get rich is to write a book about how easy it is to get rich ! I once ghosted such a book and the “client” stiffed me. No wonder the #$@^&*#! got rich !
