Church

The best pyramid scheme of all time. The whole idea started about 4000 years ago when some religious hustlers found out how profitable human stupidity can really be. Since then, this long-con has only gotten larger. It continues to survive by indoctrinating it's members in as children, and brainwashing them into ignorant submission. After completely destroying their common sense, the members are ordered to recruit more people. They're encouraged to invite friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers to come join up. Knock on doors, put up signs, hold rallies, whatever it takes to get more followers. They seduce these unknowing individuals by promising them everlasting life, good fortune, spiritual healing, divine truth, and much much more. By methods of guilt-tripping, coercion, and verbal sleight of hand, they convince these newbies to forfeit 10% of their salary. But don't think the church is done there. Far from it. Clergymen also have the right to be tax exempt, have a say in politics, assfuck your kids, receive free housing, and receive thousands from charities and donations.
