Of course, Scientologists are used to shelling out, since handing over cash is a key part of the Hubbard doctrine. On Saturday, it earned Cruise the Diamond Meritorious Award, which followed the platinum equivalent awarded last year when his contribution topped $2.5m (£1.4m). He remains the biggest donor to Scientology. Other members of the cult have been less content about paying up, complaining that they have been milked of thousands of pounds.

Shouldn't be tough to do. Just a matter of getting other people to believe in your imaginary friend.

The founders of Amway are extremely involved in right wing Republican politics, and have been for many years.

I'm not sure if they are also involved in the evangelical political movement themselves, but a great many of their executives and and highest level distributors are.

Ahhh ... but that's not true. Take a drive through a poor neighborhood.

Smaller net per sale, higher close ratio. :)

How to (legitmately) get the most money out of a poor neighborhood?

Run a liquor store.

And be sure to have a seperate counter for lottery tickets.

If you wanna get rich, it's either you go illegal or build your own religion.
