Starting and running a company can be difficult or easy. It totally depends on what you choose to do.
Right now, family obligations keep me from working full-time during regular hours, so I make due by short-term trading for now (mostly for fun, and motivation to keep up with the business world). At some point, we (husband and I) will very likely buy or start our own business. We are always looking, and think the future will bring lots of opportunities for those who wait.
BTW, when I’m talking about “rich” people, I’m referring to the execs & big-stake, highly-leveraged investors who are mostly involved in finance, real estate, mega-corporations that control a monopoly, etc. Very few of us “socialists” are talking about the mechanic shop or restaurant owner, etc. They DO work hard, and most of them give themselves a salary that is much more closely aligned with what they pay their employess, and they tend to work on lower margins.
