Yes. If this is a scam, where are the angry people?

I have two answers to this question, first, there is a strong incentive to sell the program to other people. Even if it was a complete joke, one could at least make your money back by selling the Nouveau Riche classes to other people. Keep a smile on your face, and sell it!

Second, throughout the Nouveau Riche sales pitch, you are reminded that personal effort and drive are the two key components that no teacher can give you, and that, although it is nearly inconceivable, IF someone was to ever FAIL at the Nouveau Riche Wealth Building System, it would only be a reflection of their own shortcomings. 

This is like a hot dog stand opening up, with $90 dogs, and a big banner that let you know, "These are the best freaking hot dogs in the world".

A smaller sign might read, "These dogs are from Belgium, where a family of expert hotdoggers have been making these for 380 years. If you don't think these hot dogs are the best thing you have ever tasted, it is not our fault. It is not the the fault of the hot dog. It is not the fault of the relish. The fault lies only with you. If you don't like our hotdogs, you probably don't like caviar or champagne either, do you?  You are trash. Go to AM/PM and get a Super Big Gulp you piece of trash".

Ok, that would be a lot to paint on a sign, but you get the idea. The sign lumps hot dog buyers into two groups: People who love the hot dogs, and people who are idiots.
