If it's so easy to be an employer become one - others will build assets for you...

  That's kind of my point - it's not easy to become one because a) you need to know about the right things, b) you need to know the right people and c) you need capital. Most people are not exposed to A and B since they go through high school and then get an average paying job pushing buttons or carrying bricks. The vast majority of people do not have access to C because they are too busy working their 9-5's and are barely earning enough to survive, let alone save. Assuming that they do manage to scrape something together, business is a risky venture to spend it on. It's a safer bet to raise a kid and send them to college. Not to mention that mindsets are built out of culture and the people you're surrounded by. Most humans are surrounded by emphatically uninspirational and unmotivated individuals - this just brings them down further. That's exactly why I think that 90% of people are getting a raw deal. The opportunities are certainly there - just not for them. We are privileged in that we do have the resources and expertise to start something. I'm simply saying that if the ones who do not have these privileges seem bitter, it's because they have an excellent reason to be. The other thing I'm saying is that being in a position of power means that you're supposed to share with the people who made you your fortune, not pay them a pittance so that they can afford their rent and credit card repayments.
