5: Yes, and many like Romney did it on their own.....well that is if you dont
count the stock and stuff he used to fund it
Lol! Yes, and they said they can identify with the poor. Why, they were so poor in college, they actually considered selling some of their stock options!
Not to mention Romney saying it's easy to start your own business. Just borrow the start-up money from your parents.
Now, now. You know they didn't actually do it ON THEIR OWN! They had a helping hand. They just THINK they did it on their own.
The same "helping hand" available to everyone but for some reason, most don't want to expend their own thought, planning, effort, and sacrifice to accumulate their own wealth. Hmmm...
2: a millionaire barely gets you into the top 20%. Move it up a notch. A million is nothing.
Sorry, no. A million places one in the top less than 10%. The book's average millionaire's net worth of $3.7 million places them in the top couple of percentiles. What is “Rich” in America? | The Big Picture

3: The methods mentioned in the book actually involve having some disposable income. Great for those in the top 40%...not so great for the majority
That reflects on the bad life and financial decisions those in the bottom 60% have made. The book goes into that in detail.

say in 1999 your parents passed away. you inherit a 500K house. Congratulations, in 2006 you were a millionaire, and first generation wealthy.
Sorry. No:
"* Fewer than 20 percent inherited 10 percent or more of their wealth. * More than half never received as much as $1 in inheritance. * Ninety-one percent never received, as a gift, as much as $1 of the ownership of a family business."

I could go on.
Yes, we know. You're a whiner and complainer, NOT a doer. You're NOT a self-actualizer. We get it.
But what does this MILLIONAIRE stuff have to do with FREE HEALTHCARE?
I asked where my FREE HEALTHCARE IS . . . I can't even get reasonably priced healthcare.
All Obamacare is offering is HEALTHCARE INSURANCE and it sure as heck is not free. Maybe it is free for some folks out there but it isn't free for me. Nor do I get a subsidy.
So is there someone getting free healthcare out there?
Seems like everyone has to get insurance, then even folks who were on Medicaid are not getting anything free, either. Or maybe the subsidy makes up for it.
I never heard that offer. I think only stupid people thought that.
Well, no comment as I don't want to hurt the OP's feelings. Obviously, she was somewhat deluded.

I thought that is what Candidate Obama promised when he got elected.
Free Healthcare.
So where is it. I went to the ACA website and I have to pay.

They can keep their policy - that is TRUE. But it is going to cost them more.
For the price they have been paying, the coverage is not as good, higher deductible, more expense with copays, etc.
Well, gosh. My healthcare costs have been going down every single year until . . Obamacare! They were actually getting cheaper every year until now. Thanks OBAMA.
