Think about it like this: You're the type of person that has MLM schemes in your social circle. In fact, that's your frame of reference for starting "your own business" and being "your own boss."
You have limited axcess and/or exposure to money and you're not bright at all. So when you speak about opportunity and money you sound really dumb.
You know that whole cliché about opinions being like @ssholes? Well, it's very applicable to you.

Actually, the only real life interaction I've had w/MLMs was from a college professor. I was the smartest kid in an engineering class, and he figured I'd be interested. So the whole goofball MLM "be your own boss" mentality is pervasive even in academics.
Its rhetoric that appeals to people like you- people who feel slighted, people who feel inadequate, people who feel like they have to prove something to everyone who pointed out their inadequacies all their life. Case in point, your bragging about your business ventures on a website you continually write off as low class.
You're not fooling anybody
