I saw video (link below) and it reminded me of reading this comment you posted:

The two really conservative classmates on the list grew up borderline poor. One lived in the housing projects and became a Congressman...the other my husband.

I started life with two great advantages: no money and good parents. Now, no money can be an advantage because you’ve jolly well got to fight your own way, and good parents are the best advantage of all.

I even had a friend tell me that many people called my husbands family...white trash because the family had 10 children and my husbands dad worked out of his garage fixing cars. Cars were on his land...they were out of the city limits...the city moved to them. So when the garage was torn down and a nice garage was build in its place the city fought them. Each expansion was a fight. The neighbors with money didn't want the boys from the garage dad get ahead or better the neighborhood even. The boys have such great friendly personalities they were even getting the police departments cars in to work on and still do.

When my husbands dad died...the son's continued to help the elder that the dad helped. They would buy their oil from Walmart and come have him put the oil in. Any minor problems he would take care of it free of charge(trade was common)...and the son's continued this until every one died. That's how they were raised. When some customers retire they come out to the garage and talk and sometimes go eat lunch with some of the workers....
