<snip story>
Which brings us to the moral: ......................... Since you got this story by e-mail, you're probably closer to being a janitor than a millionaire.
Sadly, I received it also.

What about getting thrown in jail for selling produce without a dozen different licenses or permits? Or the third year when the drought hit? The other farmers seeing what he is doing and undercutting him?
If it was that easy we would all be millionaires. And a million + 50 cents would buy a cup of coffee.
Sorry, not trying to be a downer. This may be a spoiler, but when I read Terry Goodkind's Faith of the Fallen, I was almost crying as the story unfolded, how the truth's seemed so evident especially since it was during the run up to the Gulf war. Now, was it because the story supported my own views? Very much so. If someone pointed out a book that supported a political or economic system that I'm diametrically opposed to could I read it agreeably, be happy with it's ending? I doubt it. Would that be my fault or the author's?
So if the e-mail was only a joke, sure it works. But as a comment on society I think it fails.
