There is no question that a lot of republicans see these guys as their idols. And more importantly when these republicans are unemployed and in Dire Straits they remain republicans. I give them credit for that!

Excellent point! Wealth creation is the key! That is why I dislike any form of capitalism that does not create wealth. Some capitalist make money by simply moving money and creating nothing.

People in the middle class can innovate and become multi millionaires as well. Two of them are in my family. That is what makes this country great. The only limits are those you put on yourself.

Most sell something that the masses want.

Amazon, Apple, MS...... Wish I'd have thought of it first.

Poor people never hire anyone.

Some folks make money because they have deals with the aid of congressmen and senators. And these folks do not create wealth. The move wealth from one place to another---------- that is all.

You want to be hired by someone else? What if the boss keeps 40% of every dollar you make? Is that OK with you?
