Pay to get paid?! It should be the other way around!

Yesterday, on Sept. 11, 2007, I got a magazine of Home Business Connection, and it's a magazine that has some home-based opportunities to make money, although not to get rich quick overnight. I looked in the ads section and at midnight, I went to some of the websites that are charging a por man's arm and leg ($100 to $1000 dollars or more) just to get started with them! One of them, Roadmap to Riches (http://tistheamericandream.com/), well, i'll quote what the website's pre-order page says on http://www.roadmaptoriches.com/jochoa/join.html:

The $49.95 a month subscription covers your hosting fee for your Roadmap to Riches flash movie and automated marketing mini-site to promote R.M.T.R. This fee also covers your auto-responder service and pre-written email system.
You can also go with our one-time, Admin payment option of $350, which eliminates ALL monthly Admin fees and gives you UNLIMITED access.
This is what makes my blood and stomach boil to no end! I've been to other places that vary and differ in prices and what they're selling, but offers like these, from a one-time payments of...let's see...maybe $600 dollars to monthly debt-inducing, wallet-draining payments of $125 dollars a month. (this is just an example, mind you!)
I'm only writing on how I feel about this situation, so i'll edit it later.
Remember my older post of the "It takes money to make money" Paradox? So now, why in God's (or any other deity or higher entity you believe) name should we, the little poor commoners, have to pay a king's ransom that we don't already have, to make a king's ransom that we WANT to have? That doesn't make any sense to me, or any of us poor people at all! I don't believe in such nonsense! In fact, it should be the other way around!
To me, if it takes money to make money, then at least it should take my STARTING PROFITS to make money. In other words, just like Lisa Diane whom I listen to when I travel anywhere, I only make money when I get money flowing to me first. When I earn money, I use that money to upgrade to better positions, not the other way around. When i'm paid after I do my efforts, THEN I pay.
