Jack, just a reminder for “interest factor”, Ronald Reagan started as a Democrat and President of the Screen Actors Guild, then “changed”, rather dramatically. Clinton didn’t hardly start from the “middle”, nor did Obama. BUT, as noted, it takes someone taking those folks “at the bottom” under their wing to get started.
A friend of our family was about to file for bankruptcy when a rather nice guy helped him out. In just five years of a successful string of business ventures based on an initial investment (loan and “connections” in a market) he was a multi-millionaire! He also knew to SHARE those profits and “benefits” with ALL his employees and suppliers! That was even back in the days when even the rich paid taxes, at a maximum rate of around 90% on profits and income taken in over a very high base amount. He based his success and philosophy on integrity, THAT is what is missing today.
