CHAPTER FIVE
Lesson Four:The History of and The Power of Corporation
I remember in school being told the story of Robin Hood and his Merry MenMy schoolteacher thought it was a wonderful story of a romantic hero, a Kevin Costner type, who robbed from the rich and gave to the poorMy rich dad did not see Robin Hood as a prada milano heroHe called Robin Hood a crookRobin Hood may be long gone, but his followers live onHow often I still hear people say, "Why don't the rich pay for it?" Or "The rich should pay more in taxes and give it to the poor
It is this idea of Robin Hood, or taking from the rich to give to the poor that has caused the most pain for the poor and the middle classThe reason the middle class is so heavily taxed is because of the Robin Hood idealThe real reality is that the rich rolex oyster perpetual day-date are not taxedIt's the middle class who pays for the poor, especially the educated upper-income middle classAgain, to understand fully how things happen, we need to look at the historical perspectiveWe need to look at the history of taxesAlthough my highly educated dad was an expert on the history of education, my rich dad fashioned himself as an expert on the history of taxesRich dad explained to Mike and me that in England and America originally, there were no fendi b ta

No, no that couldn't beShe'd scrabbled along with no food in her

bleeding while she worked in the fields to keep from starvingShe'd
given up all her pride, turned her back on everything she'd cartier watch santos been

HIIIIIIIIIII SCORE HIIIIIIII SCHOOOOOL
YAAAAAAAAY TEAM!
And the kids are yelling, watching him as he does a cartwheel, comes up clapping his hands, his body turned toward the playing field in an attitude of devotion, of pleadingOne thousand kids awaiting on him One of the glory moments that you pull out later
In the lag between basketball season and baseball, he takes his car apart, installs a muffler (he is tired of the sound of the exhaust) greases the gear housing, and paints the chassis a pale green
There are important conversations with his father
We have to be thinking seriously of what you want to do, Willie
I've kinda set my mind on engineering, PopThey've talked of it many times, but this occasion there's the tacit understanding that it's Serious
Well, now, I'm glad to hear that, WillieI don't want to say I've ever tried to form your opinion for you, but I couldn't ask for anything better I really like machinery I've noticed that, Son(The pause) It's aeronautical engineering that interests you?
I think it's gonna be the field It is, Son, I think it's a good choiceThat's an up-and-coming businessHis father claps him on the shoulderI want to mention one thing though, Willie
@@@@@?It?s why I dug around and made those

@@@@@?It?s why I dug around and made those
phone calls, never expecting to find what I didJesus, a global cartel born twenty years ago in
Saigon, peopled by some of the biggest fish in and out of the government and the militaryIt was
the kind of pay dirt I didn?t want and wasn?t looking forI thought I might dig up maybe ten or
twelve hotshot millionaires with post-Saigon bank accounts that couldn?t bear scrutiny, but not this,
not this Medusa
?To put it as simply as possible,? continued Holland, frowning, his eyes again straying down to
the papers in front of him, then up at Alex?Once the connection was made between Medusa and
Carlos, word would be passed to the Jackal that there was a man Medusa wanted eliminated, and
cost was no objectSo far, yes??
?The key here was the caliber and the status of those reaching Carlos,? explained Conklin?They had to be as close to bona fide Olympians as we could find, the kind of clients the Jackal
doesn?t get and never got
?Then the name of the target is revealed?say, in a way such as ?John Smith, once known years
ago as Jason Bourne??and the Jackal is hookedBourne, the one man he wants dead above all
othersThat?s why the Medusans reaching Carlos had to be so solid, so above questioning that
Carlos accepts them and dismisses any sort of a trap
?Because,? added the CIA?s director, ?Jason Bourne came out of Saigon?s Medusa?a fact
known to Carlos?but he never shared in the riches of the later, postwar MedusaThat?s the
background scenario, isn?t it??
?The logic?s as clean as it can beFor three years he was used and damn near killed in a black
operation, and along the way he supposedly discovered that more than a few undistinguished
Saigon pricks were driving Jaguars and were sailing yachts and pulling down six-figure retainers
while he went on a government pensionThat could try the patience of John the Baptist, to say
nothing of Barabbas
?It?s a terrific libretto,? allowed Holland, a slow smile breaking across his face?I can hear the
tenors soaring in triumph and the Machiavellian bassos slinking offstage in defeatDon?t scowl
at me, Alex, I mean it! It?s really ingeniousIt?s so inevitable it became a self-fulfilling prophecy
?What the hell are you talking about??
?Your Bourne was right from the beginningIt all took place the way he saw it, but not in any
way he could have imaginedBecause it was inevitable

herself"There's all kinds of needI never told Melanie, and I
didn't tell Scarlett until it was too lateI never took the time to know I loved them, or you eitherAt least
with you I won't make the mistake I did with them Scarlett stared
down at the skull-like face of the dying old woman"I love you,
Mammy," she whispered"What's going to become of me when I don't
have
you to love me?" poked sideways around the cracked-open door to
the
sickroom"Miss Scarlett, Mister Will he say for me to come sit with

in front of her"But Mammy's sleeping, Miss ScarlettDo you want to
shake her awake to drink her broth?"
"Just keep it covered and set the tray near the stoveI'll feed her

beach Scarlett felt a warm weakness travelling through her body,
and she forced herself to remember where she wasShe paid for the
telegram and listened attentively when the telegraph operator gave
her
directions to the Convent of the Sisters of MercyThen she set off at
such a rapid pace that Pansy almost had to run to keep upWhile she
was waiting for Rhett to come, she should have just enough time to
track down Carreen's Mother Superior and get her to talk to the
Bishop,
as Rhett had suggestedSavannah's Convent of the Sisters of Mercy was a big white building
with a cross over its tall closed doors, surrounded by a tall iron
fence with closed gates surmounted by iron crossesScarlett's rapid
pace slowed, then she stoppedIt was very different from the
handsome
brick house in Charleston"Is you going in there, Miss Scarlett?"
Pansy's voice had a quaver in it"I better wait outside
"Don't be such a goose!" Pansy's fearfulness gave Scarlett courage"It's not a church, just a home for nice ladies like Miss Carreen

couldn't have run a mile without stoppingThere was more to this easy treatment than just my physical weakness, thoughI was used to a
pretty face, but one that people were able to look at with fear, mistrust, even hatredMy new
face defied such emotionsPeople touched my cheeks often, or put their fingers under my chin, holding my face up to see it
betterI was frequently patted on my head (which was in easy reach, since I was shorter than
everyone but the children), and my hair was stroked so regularly that I stopped noticing when it
happenedThose who had never accepted me before did this as often as my friendsEven
