    @@@@@Kennedy and especially the idea of the Peace CorpsHe loved the idea so much that both he and my mom worked for the Peace Corps training volunteers to go to Malaysia, Thailand and the PhilippinesHe always strived for additional grants and increases in his budget so he could hire more people, both in his job with the Education Department and in the Peace Corps
    From the time I was about 10 years old, I would hear from my rich dad that government workers were a pack of lazy thieves, and from my poor dad I would hear how the rich were greedy crooks who should be made to pay more taxesBoth sides have valid pointsIt was difficult to go to work for one of the biggest capitalists in town and come home to a father who was a prominent government leaderIt was not easy knowing who to believe
    Yet, when you study the history of taxes, an interesting perspective emergesAs I said, the passage of taxes was only possible because the masses believed in the Robin Hood theory of economics, which was to take from the rich and give to everyone elseThe problem was that the government's appetite for money was so great that taxes soon needed to be levied on the middle class, and from there it kept "trickling down
    The rich, on the other hand, saw an opportunityThey do not play by the same set of rulesAs I've stated, the rich already knew about corporations, which became popular in the days of sailing shipsThe rich created the corporation as a vehicle to limit their risk to the assets of each voyageThe rich put their money into a corporation to finance the voyageThe corporation would then hire a crew to sail to the New World to look for treasuresIf the ship was lost, the crew lost their lives, but the loss to the rich would be limited only to the money they invested for that particular voyageThe diagram that follows shows how the corporate structure sits outside your personal income statement and balance sheet

    How the Rich Play the Game

    Is reduced/diminished by expenses
    Assets ------------------------------------------------> Income
    (through personal corporation)

    It is the knowledge of the power of the legal structure of the corporation that really gives the rich a vast advantage over the poor and the middle classHaving two fathers teaching me, one a socialist and the other a capitalist, I quickly began to realize that the philosophy of the capitalist made more financial sense to meIt seemed to me that the socialists ultimately penalized themselves, due to their lack of financial educationNo matter what the "Take from the rich" crowd came up with, the rich always found a way to outsmart themThat is how taxes were eventually levied on the middle classThe rich outsmarted the intellectuals, solely because they understood the power of money, a subject not taught in schools
    How did the rich outsmart the intellectuals? Once the "Take from the rich" tax was passed, cash started flowing into government coffer

    The face came back to Alex with the memory of those wordsIt was a middle-aged face and it
    had suddenly become expressionless, the eyes clouded but with suppressed anger in themConklin, I am in no way associated with the senatorYou call him iniquitous, I have other
    terms, but they’re not pertinent hereWhat changed?”
    “Quite late in his life my father became what he had been in Russia, a highly successful
    merchant, a capitalistAt last count he owned seven supermarkets in upscale mallsThey’re called
    Conklin’s CornersHe’s over eighty now, and although I love him dearly, I regret to say he’s an
    ardent supporter of the senatorI simply consider his years, his struggles, his hatred of the Soviets,
    and avoid the subject
    “You’re very bright and very diplomatic
    “Bright and diplomatic,” Alex had agreed
    “I’ve shopped at a couple of Conklin’s Corners
    “Where did the ‘Conklin’ come from?”
    “My fatherMy mother says he saw it on a billboard advertising motor oil, she thinks, about four
    or five years after they got hereAnd, of course, the Konsolikov had to goAs my considerably
    bigoted father once said, ‘Only the Jews with Russian names can make money over here Again, I
    avoid the subject
    “It’s not difficultHe has his share of good points as well
    “Even if he didn’t, I’m sure you could be convincing in your diplomacy, in the concealment of
    your feelings
    “Why do I think that’s a leading statement?”
    “Because it is, MrI represent a government agency that’s extremely interested in you,
    and one in which your future would be as unlimited as that of any potential recruit I’ve spoken to in
    a decade
    That conversation had taken place nearly thirty years ago, mused Alex, his eyes drifting up once
    again to the inner door of Sterile Five’s waiting lounge in its own private medical centerAnd how
    crazy the intervening years had beenIn a stress-defying bid for unrealistic expansion, his father
    had overextended himself, committing enormous sums of money that existed only in his
    imagination and in the minds of avaricious bankers

    My mother - always a bit of a sourpuss - would

    forty years ago, when a dime bought more than it

    Elizabeth, of course, was the other handThere
    was no death-notice for her, but a boxed item had
    772
    been added to the page of the Tampa paper carrying
    Mary's review: WELL-KNOWN ART PATRON STRICKEN AT
    FREEMANTLE SHOWThe story, just two paragraphs
    long, stated that Elizabeth Eastlake, a long-time
    fixture on the Sarasota art scene and resident of
    Duma Key, had suffered an apparent seizure not
    long after arriving at the Scoto Gallery and had
    been taken by ambulance to Sarasota Memorial
    HospitalNo word of her condition was available
    at press time
    My Minnesota people knew that on the night of my

    I excused myself to go upstairsI'd left a small

    the phone flashingI almost left it, then
    realized the message might be from Wireman
    It turned out there were half a dozen messages
    The first four were more congratulations, which
    fell on my aching head like pellets of hail on a
    tin roofBy the time I got to Jimmy's - he was
    the fourth - I had begun punching the 6-button on
    the keypad, which hurried me on to the next
    messageI was in no mood to be stroked
    The fifth message was indeed from Jerome Wireman
    He sounded tired and stunned"Edgar, I know

    @@@@@A gust of wind
    caught the umbrella, puffed it like a sail, and
    began to drag the table down the beachWhat got
    me laughing wasn't the bug-eyed look of amazement
    on Wireman's face when his disintegrating beach
    chair tried to clamp on him like a striped jaw,
    nor his sudden barrel-roll onto the sandIt
    wasn't even the sight of that table trying to
    escape, tugged by its own umbrellaIt was
    Wireman's glass, still standing placidly upright
    between the sprawling man's side and left arm
    Acme Iced Tea Company, I thought, still stuck on
    those old Road Runner cartoonsMeep-meep! And
    218
    that, of course, made me think of the crane that
    had done the damage, the one with the fucked-up
    beeper that hadn't beeped, and all at once I saw
    myself as Wile ECoyote in the cab of my
    disintegrating pickup truck, eyes bugged in
    bewilderment, frazzled ears sticking off in two
    opposite directions and maybe smoking a little at
    the tipsI laughed until I rolled bonelessly
    out of my own chair and plopped onto the sand
    beside Wiremanbut I also missed the glass,
    which still stood perfectly upright like a
    cigarette-butt in an urn of sandIt was
    impossible for me to laugh any harder, but I did
    Tears gushed down my cheeks and the world had
    begun to dim out as my brain went into oxygendeprivation
    mode
    Wireman, still howling, went crawling after his
    runaway table, locomoting on knees and elbowsHe
    made a grab for the base and it skittered away as
    if sensing his approachWireman plowed face-first
    into the sand and came up laughing and sneezingI
    rolled over on my back and gasped for breath, on
    the verge of passing out but still laughing
    219
    That was how I met Wireman
    iii
    Twenty minutes later the table had been placed in
    a rough approximation of its original position
    That was all very well, but neither of us could
    look at the umbrella without breaking into fits of
    the gigglesOne of its pie-wedges was torn, and
    it now rose crookedly from the table, giving it
    the look of a drunken man trying to pretend he's
    soberWireman had moved the remaining chair down
    to the end of the wooden walk, and had taken it at
    my insistenceI was sitting on the walk itself,
    which, although backless, would make getting up an
    easier (not to mention more dignified) proposition
    Wireman had offered to replace the spilled pitcher
    of iced tea with a fresh oneI refused this, but
    agreed to split the miraculously unspilled glass
    with him
    "Now we're water-brothers," he said when it was
    gone
    "Is that some Indian ritual?" I asked

    A friend of mine in Hawaii is a great artistHe makes a sizable amount of moneyOne day his mother's attorney called to tell him that she had left him $35,000That is what was left of her estate after the attorney and the government took their shares Immediately, he saw an opportunity to increase his business by using some of this money to advertiseTwo months later, his first four-color, full-page ad appeared in an expensive magazine that targeted the very richThe ad ran for three months He received no replies from the ad, and all of his inheritance is now goneHe now wants to sue the magazine for misrepresentation
    This is a common case of someone who can build a beautiful hamburger, but knows little about businessWhen I asked him what he learned, his only reply was that "advertising salespeople are crooks I then asked him if he would be willing to take a course in sales and a course in direct marketingHis reply, "I don't have the time, and I don't want to waste my money
    The world is filled with talented poor peopleAll too often, they're ?poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of, not f because of what they know but because of what they do not knowThey focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburgerMaybe McDonald's does not make the best hamburger, but they are the best at f selling and delivering a basic average burger
    Poor dad wanted me to specializeThat was his view on how to be paid moreEven after being told by the governor of Hawaii that he could no longer work in state government, my educated dad continued to encourage me to get specializedEducated dad then took up the cause of the teachers union, campaigning for further protection and benefits for I these highly skilled and educated professionalsWe argued often, but I know he never agreed that overspecialization is what caused the need for union protectionHe never understood that the more specialized you become, the more you are trapped and dependent on that specialty
