Is it Possible for everyone to succeed and be rich at once?

We are living in the most creative times with technology and social media allowing us to virtually do almost anything you want if you're motivated enough to do it.  Is it possible for everyone to escape the prison of a 9/5 job working for a company or employer your whole life, and make it on your own like so many people do now just by vlogging, blogging, selling on the internet, and simply doing what you love?  Wouldn't there be a problem if all those people stopped working the jobs we don't want?  Don't successful people/rich people exist because other people are unsuccessful and not rich?  For example in sports, in order for a team to be the Champions, there MUST be a contender(s) (who eventually will be the loser).  Your success happens on the backs of other teams failures.  It's impossible for all the teams to go 50-0 and all be a champion at the same time.

Give away all of your things and wander around until you realize that you have everything you need.

Jesus, allegedly, said the same thing 2000 years ago. We can't get enough people to believe in those words. Conservatives want to keep ALL their money while they "sing His praises". Well, you can't believe EVERYTHING HE said, just the parts that make US look ... um...right.

Side: Yes

The faith is not in the meat suit. The faith is in The Word of God.

"All flesh is grass,

and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

the grass withereth, the flower fadeth:

because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it:

surely the people is grass.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:

but the word of our God shall stand for ever."

There is no one without sin.

No one can earn their way to Salvation. Give away all your things, wander the Earth. This is not what saves you. We are saved through God's grace, through God's unmerited favor.

"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

If your faith is in idols, you condemn yourself, because these idols come and go. They are mortal beings who die. There is only One Salvation, and that is God.

But only if we survive and make it to the "Captain Kirk era". One world government, the intermingling of all races, creeds, and the acceptances of all beliefs under one law. None of US will be around to see it, too much ALL FOR ME in this era, not enough intelligence.

Why do you think a one world government is a good thing? Does one homogeneous government have any disadvantages relative to a diverse array of governments?

It depends on what you mean by rich; the U.S. middle class currently enjoys a standard of living that puts the kings of old to shame.
