  • The two arts of you question do not link.  Not all successful businessmen are con artists.

    That is not what he said.  At all.  "a" wealthy businessman does not necessarily indicate that all WB's  are a part of this equation.  

    I think he is SPOT ON.    It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to gain entrance to heaven.
    You know?

  • The "a" used in this context implies a collective whole, as "all wealthy businessmen are con artists."

    ok.  I'll let you have that.   But the humor of it is what you are letting escape you, just to be nitpicky.

    The idea is that Businessmen who are wealthy, inevitably turn out to be scoundrels.  Titter Titter.

    Enough of them ARE (just like Catholic priests) notorious enough for this rumor to take hold.

    And?   There are even corrupt judges and prison guards and cops too.

    Maybe. But to become a wealthy businessman you have to befriend a psychopath.

    That's not how I would do it.  Wealth doesn't necessarily correlate with sinister activity. 

    What other chips are you carrying around?
