    Good comment but you just fleshed out a real life scenario where a rich grifter fleeced you by appealing to your greed. You just replaced the word greed with “growing your business”. Im not greedy, I have good REASONS! Donald has damn good reasons for his behavior as well, probably “growing his business”, and certainly doesnt see himself as greedy.

      yeah i did nothing but trust someone who signed a contract saying they would pay me for the goods and services i provided. I didn’t do anything shady, I trusted someones word, and I lost everything because of it. but yeah, I’m greedy. wtf is a small business owner supposed to do, turn down every opportunity because the person their dealing with is rich? That for some reason the failing of the justice system to account for rich people abusing the court system to fuck over small business, and you’re saying it’s MY FAULT they did that to me?

      “well you shouldn’t have trusted him”

      do you say that to rape victims too?

        People don’t become rich by being ethical. Not blaming you for not being aware, but everyone needs to realize that trusting rich people is a bad idea.
