Not likely. The vast majority of CEOs, executives, and directors of corporations have never "risked" a dime of their own capital.
The vast majority of executive and director people today are flaming liberals who attended school with other flaming liberals, who studied under professors who were mostly flaming liberals. Commies; anti-capitalists; the whole bunch.
Perhaps a small percentage of CEOs actually started and built a business, but they are an extreme minority.
I think the poster was referring to HIS CEO,not all CEOs.
