It's true that working and saving will never get you rich. The trick
is to come up with a scheme that legally transfers other peoples'
savings to you at a rate greatly in excess of the value of the work
you put into it. Then, to make yourself feel better, you say that *by
definition* the work you put into the scheme must be equal to the
money you have managed to extract, since the value of work is whatever
the market will bear.
