Here is where I come from financially:

My dad grew up on a small corn farm in Iowa, he was one of 4 brothers. When he was 18 he hitchhiked to California, and was a Janitor in a daycare in exchange for being able to live at the facility (in a storage closet). He also worked in a warehouse for a company (can't mention what field exactly, but it is electric like). He then memorized the catalog, and proved through hard work that he was a good worker. Eventually get was moved into the office doing petty work, he excelled and then moved into sales. He was the #1 salesman after only 3 months. He then attended night class at a community college but only finished 2 years.

He got a big break when a regional distribution company in that field went broke (the office that went broke had 8 employees). My dad moved to the area and setup an office with another another person. My dad did all the work, bought out his co-owner, and hired a secretary and a engineer. Now my dad has 30 people working for him and he has sole distribution rights to 8 states and contracts with major stores (where you guys probably buy alot of stuff). So from corn farmer to multi-millionaire...

And now a couple other things... 25% return? wow... I am an avid investor (IPOs, venture capital, stocks, and a bit of bonds) and 25% is really good. Most I have made in one year is 22% average return, but then again I have only been investing 3 years and that was mostly from an venture capital investment that was really successful.

Outsourcing Jobs and USA's Greed People in the United States (and more importantly, my mom) are getting fed up with outsourcing jobs to places like India and China. I asked her this when she went off on a nice 10 minute rant about how letting Virgin Airlines into the US commercial flight industry, "Do you support hunger in India and China?" What I mean by question is money/wealth is being stored up in the US and that is why we have a high standard of living. In India and China (Not the high-tech commercial parts) there is Rating: 5
