I would prepare my entire life to run for the president of the United States of America. Right now, I would sign up for a tour of duty in Iraq so that, when I'm older, I can state that I served my country in it's time of need. After my tour of duty, I will attend an ivy league school, preferably Harvard or Yale. Once my schooling is complete, it's off to the senate I go to become a successful senator. Once I feel the time is right, I shall declare my candidacy for president of the United States of America. I will run a campaign of lies and propaganda, saying whatever I can say to get myself elected. In other words, I will follow the usual course.
Upon becoming president, I will immediately nuke England. An elaborate lie will be spun citing the reason why we need to initiate a nuclear holocaust on our greatest ally. As to what this lie will be, I have yet to decide, but it's a minor detail.
If you were to become rich, how would you do it?
