Why The Rich Shall Inherit The Earth… And Save The World
You see people walking picket lines, protesting this and that, marching for world peace… and they’re making a difference for the planet, right?
They’re spiritually enlightened, with their hearts in the right places, and they care more about humanity than prosperity.
People like Mother Teresa, Gandhi, and the average Buddhist monk on the hill — people who believe it’s better to give than receive — they’re the ones who will save us from doom and gloom… aren’t they?
And while the activists are saving the world, the starving artists are making it more beautiful.
Anyone who makes a living from their art is just a “sell-out”, whether it’s a musician making money off a TV commercial, or a painter who sells their masterpieces to decorate big corporate head offices.
Right… ???
Umm… hmmm.
What would you say if I told you that was a complete and total “bass-ackwards” (as Barry likes to say) way of thinking?…
