The rich are different than you and I. They are in fact more special. That is why they deserved to be bailed out by trillions of our dollars. That is why we happily allow them government welfare while the poor have to face homelessness.

This trash is what most people subconsciously believe. After all, we have been programmed from youth to see the rich as deserving and the rest of struggling humanity suffering because they are not deserving.

The “Rich are Special Lie” is sold to the American psyche in a variety of ways. But recently someone decided to put it all down in a book. So you can read it to reinforce your already conditioned psyche about the rich being better.

Steve Siebold is the author of “How the Rich People Think.” In his book he contrasts the rich and their special abilities with the rest of us common losers.

...Middle class focuses on saving. World class focuses on earning.
Middle class believes hard work creates wealth. World class believes leverage creates wealth.
Middle class believes money is earned through labor. World class believes money is earned through thought.
Middle class worries about running out of money. World class thinks about how to make more money.
Middle class operates from a fear based consciousness. World class operates in a consciousness of abundance and freedom.
Middle class sees money through the eyes of emotion. World class sees money through the eyes of logic.
Middle class believes getting rich is outside their control. World class knows getting rich is an inside job….(source fox news)

Siebold is right about getting rich as an inside job. It helps if you can have the government give you tax credits, bail out your investments, control the market for you, and allows you to operate in a near global monopoly.

According to Siebold, one of the things we can all do to be like the rich is to think positive. Don’t let people tell you the truth and don’t dare believe in the truth. You need to minimize your exposure to the fear based thinkers.

It is always best to believe in fairy tales about wealth and wealth creation. That way it is easier for the super rich to screw you. If people were to actually use their reasoning and examine the system, the rich could no longer screw you with the help of their government.

The book is full of nonsense. But people like to believe in nonsense. It is far easier than thinking.
