    Steps:

    1. be (usually born) rich
    2. have an agenda
    3. use your wealth to accomplish it
    4. lie, cheat, steal, do whatever you have to in order to “win”

    Did I leave anything out? :-P

            It’s okay, I’ll live.

            Wait no, I just checked the rules, none of us will. Oh well.

            Carpe diem baby! :-D

                Okay (1) FUCK YEAH, but also (5) did you just change the rules there - are you a billionaire? Or just (d) viva la vida loca:-P.

                    Nah. Except yeah, probably. People aren’t great at handling subtleties - e.g. “tax the wealth” becomes “kill the billionaires”, as if the taxation part wasn’t the point, or the fact that actual trillionaires exist is somehow not relevant, etc. It’s easier to shoehorn facts into what people already want to do:-P.
