Pyramids schemes are illegal business operations that usually promote getting rich quick and easy. The organizers profit from internal consumption. People are required to purchase "stuff", either product inventory or sales packages or training materials... or all three. If you don't distribute/use/sell or benefit from any of it you're out of luck, and money. Generally the company or person that sold it to you doesn't care because they've made their profit.

Think about it... who generally gets more pay, the guy who owns a business or the guy he hired and trained to run it? Owners get more than managers who get more than supervisors who get more than workers. When you work longer & harder, have more experience and training and are willing to accept more responsibilities and risk you will make more money.

Often when something doesn't work out perfectly for someone their first reaction is to point a finger at something or somebody else and say "it must be their fault". It couldn't possibly be them or something they did or didn't do. Excuses are man's way of avoiding responsibility/accountability for their actions and situations.

Just because somebody feels a certain way about something doesn't mean you should share their viewpoint. Facts are what tell you how it actually is. You need to go to reputable sources and get the facts not Joe Blow who's willing to offer a biased opinion based on no information.
