He̢۪s had two or three best sellers, worked for Budweiser. Now Eisenhower might not of ever had a private check. Grant was a failure. JFK? Dad's money. Reagan did, but Reagan was 'just' an actor and pitchman. Speaking of disdain for so-called capitalism, I can think of most of the rent seeking law, defense contractors, sub-prime, the decades of protection seeking Big Three auto crap manufactures and steel companies. Archer Daniels Midland, and farmers with their price supports. Road and bridge contractors. Enron and the accounting industry that did accounting of companies and then also rated them for credit worthiness. Warren Buffet, most sport team owners. Shall I go on about other wealthy sleazy individuals and industries? And more than any crack whores I can't think of an industry like Wall Street that goes running to the Fed everytime people sour on it's products.

[bruinbirdman]

So, you don't like capitalism either.
