“Basic Economics,” by Tommy Bottoms

"...See America is designed for the get rich. There’s a million and one ways for you to get paid off of this bitch. And most of them’s legit. Just find a market you want to target, produce a service and/or product and your revenue minus your expenses is going to equal your profit. See, it’s just basic economics.
