It&#8217;s pure evil I tell you, evil.\u00a0 We spend our entire lives trying to attain wealth and when we achieve it, we immediately build the Keep at Helm&#8217;s Deep to slay the attacking blood sucking vampires.The IRS is in fact the only organization in human history known to squeeze blood out of a turnip.<br \/>\nRemember the New York woman who gave millions to her dogs? It&#8217;s because money makes people evil and dogs just lick your face no matter what your worth. But try to skip their $1,000 caviar doggie nips and watch out, CUJO! Then there is Madoff.\u00a0 How does one build a billion dollar pyramid scheme without slaves?\u00a0 Evil aliens, that&#8217;s how.\u00a0 They also were instrumental in those pyramids in Egypt.\u00a0 Then there are the lottery winners.\u00a0 The vast majority are penniless in less than a year.\u00a0 How about those evil trust fund babies?\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know about you, but trusting babies with funds is just a bad idea.\u00a0 Evil infants like Damian in the Omen with Satan&#8217;s credit card just plain scare me.<\/p>\n<p>Money once was gold coin, then the greenback, and now it is electronic digits of 0 and 1.\u00a0 My account balance in binary code is 00000001.\u00a0 So instead of physically robbing a rich person, evil entrepreneurs are now just hacking their computers, the federal reserve, and the international monetary fund. If hackers only put as much effort into making money as stealing money, they&#8217;d be just as rich.\u00a0 So why don&#8217;t they?\u00a0 Because they are afraid of being hacked, that&#8217;s why.\u00a0 So do hackers create anti-hacking unhackable hacker software?\u00a0 Evil is as evil does.\u00a0 I say bring back public beheadings for hackers.\u00a0 Oh and charge admission, then someone new could get rich.\u00a0 This is the top franchising opportunity for 2012, trust me.\u00a0 But, on the flip-side, there would be no Geeks to service our computers.\u00a0 Okay bad idea, flip-flop.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is family. Mention the word inheritance and kids go insanely evil.\u00a0 Parents, please be safe and hire a professional food taster.\u00a0 This is my next top franchising idea.\u00a0 If the tester employee dies before you create a paycheck or contribute to the 401(k), the profit margin will be astronomical.\u00a0 Oh that&#8217;s good, oh, I mean evil.\u00a0 It creates jobs and solves the unemployment issue all at the same time.\u00a0 I should run for president.<\/p>\n<p>So as you contemplate the evils of money from this post, you can rest assured that I am the only person on earth that will protect you from it (evil that is).\u00a0 So rid yourself of evil&#8217;s influence by sending me 90% of your wealth to the following:<\/p>\n<p>EW Greenlee, Esquirrel<br \/>\n666 Pyramid Circle Square<br \/>\nGrand Cayman Islands<br \/>\n\u263a\u2665\u263b (Code for I&#8217;m getting a nice tan)<\/p>\n<p>So what is your most evil franchise for 2012?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though I am now a wildly successful published author, I have spent 31 years in the business of accounting for and advising on money management.\u00a0 Money is the root of all evil.\u00a0 Ever notice the single eye above the pyramid staring back at you on your dollar bill?
