Why is it that there are no legitimate ways to make extra money online?

There are so many scams out there, I guarantee that someone even posts a list of URLs with get rich quick scams as an answer to this question. Why is it so hard to make a living now? Even with real skills there is no real payoff. It all goes to living expenses. How are you supposed to save when food has doubled in price and energy is so expensive? How do you tell your retired parents who are now practically penniless that you can't help them because your utilities are getting cut off too? How can you work a second job when your first one makes you work 10 hours a day without overtime?

And who are all these people driving Hummers, living large? What do they do for a living that they have it so well? Do you think that most of them are living beyond their means or maybe doing unethical things to make their money?

Update:

Wow, so far 2 out of three are clearly spam. Amazing.

Update 2:

Aibon - not falling for the bait. Your profile is secret, spammer!

    I'll answer your question with another one...Is money legitimate?

    Since the answer is, honestly, no...then that precludes why you can't find a way to make it.

    The Chinese developed paper money long before other cultures, but even when they developed it they were of the understanding that the paper had to have representation. A gold or silver standard that substantiated trade of goods and services.

    And even in the turmoil of the middle ages the church maintained that usury (or money-lending) was a sin because it literally causes the "evaporation" of a nation's wealth.

    So today, when money is based not on production or gold standards, but instead on credit, credit history, speculation, and the arbitrary figures of national debt and the prime rate...how is money supposed to have any value at all?
