I am so dissappointed in all these men that have gained great success and at this time when our country needs dire assisstance in regaining our education for the future of our children. If each one of these men with all these riches could consider giving up 1-2 percent of their earnings for this year and give it to the rectify of the debt that our schools are in. Each state is having to dismiss teachers, sub teachers, and extra curricular activities for students to enjoy learning in school and having the chances that each of these successful men have been able to accomplish. I and other citizens would be for ever grateful if you would consider, giving 1-2 percent of your income to aide our country of getting out of debt, especially with helping each state to maintain the educations goals they wish to accomplish for the children of our future. Please give back to our future.
Hello , my name is max and ive been reading about the wealthy men in our country,and how they became wealthy. Now i see where other people want for the men to share their wealth with our schools and childrens education. What i would like to share with them is a chance to become even wealthier by buying a story of a man , and not just an ordenary man. There is more than one book to be published; volumes of books . This book will not only be the best seller, but help people understand the questions they have about the world . I’m looking for someone to buy his story so that the next book can be written and published. Who ever decides to buy this story will be in charge of marketing . The good part will be that he or she will become very wealthy with these volumes of books. please write back with a direction i may take if this is not you.
thank you
max
