People say "don't deal drugs" ....

[john goodman]

How do you think most rich families got to where they're at?

You don't get shyt in this country by playing by the rules and coloring within the lines...

You either go and get it or you don't

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

How did your family get wealthy?

 

[john goodman]

My father was the business mind and accountant behind a lot of small to mid sized businesses... Worked for sweat equity

Was all the startup capital legit... Who knows?

my grandfather was a photographer and sold booze too


Just saying in this country... No one cares how you made your money... Just be smart about it

He's A Fat Italian From Philly

 

[Mask and Da Glock]

uhh...not by dealing drugs. I know at one point my family had money from (family member) running an (illegal operation) in providence, but (family member) got a little greedy and we ended up moving across country because (family member) owed (major synidcate in providence) upwards of 70,000....it's not drugs but same deal. It will come get you whether the law or just not being happy.

Kennedys were dealers... Everyone knows it and loves them for it...

How did hova start the roc? Everyone knows and he's a beloved icon anyway

 

[AgentGrey]

I think the point he's making is, to get ahead of the the majority you have to break the rules. I firmly believe this is true, every CEO or leader or figure-head in any organization of any industry has left a trail of blood in their climb to the top..
Not necessarily murder but quite a few people were wronged by him for him to succeed.​

 

[DreadHead P]

if your gonna get illegal money the drug business is the worst business to do it in

Thats so shortsighted though, You saying the only way to get ahead is by selling drugs?

If you got the plug and can move some weight wholesale... sure

But most people don't... They going rock for rock, sack for sack and thats not really a good way to live, you are never gonna get "Rich" and you are constantly dealing with cats who you can't trust and always scheming...

Whats wrong a little hard work, or doing something positive and getting paid for it..

 

[Ohene]

john goodman, i applaud your post. wish i could instill the same midset in my dad who wont do so much as to let me drive his car because I'm not insured on the car. fukking p*ssyhole

 

[CrossBones]

those who get away will dealing drugs and getting rich have a lot of connections. everyone else, doesnt. learn to save your money and only invest in things (businesses, stocks, real estate, etc) when you have people who know what theyre doing. let your money grow and dont always look for the easy way out

 

[Loud Still Coolin]

drugs and cocaine sales helped build this county

 

[Red Omega]

always talkin money, just like a jew.

You either go and get it or you don't

the odds stacked against you...
