      So taxing humans who aren't contributing to society but just covering themselves is a scam? You must see success as a get rich scheme. Look at it as the government encouraging you to become rich. You create jobs, no tax for you. You sit there not helping the economy, taxation for you lad.

    In Spain we have quite a few scams. There was a company, Forum Filatelico, which made up investment schemes using post stamps and stamp collector items. Investors never saw any profits, and the Forum founders stole all their money and vanished into thin air. Nobody recovered any money.
    There was also a language school franchise, Open English, which was doing well until it closed down for no apparent reason. Teachers lost their jobs and students were left in the lurch. Their only aim was amassing as much money as possible and leaving the scene with it.
