To become wealthy we need to overcome both taxes and laziness and spend our money wisely. Benjamin Franklin tells that taxes and laziness are killing everyone. Franklin also says "Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never; so that, as Poor Richard says, a life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things." This means that you can be leisurely and be a wealthy man, but a lazy man will never be wealthy. This can all be seen in Benjamin Franklin's poem "The Way to Wealth."

Benjamin Franklin says that laziness and taxes are "killing" all of us. So, taking into account his words, to be successful we need to overcome somehow laziness and taxes and spend all of our money wisely to be successful. If we do this, then it will lead us to have more wealth in life.
