By the way, I guess you forgot the rich like Andrew Carnegie, who gave millions of dollars away to build libraries and colleges to educate the poor and the middle class.

I guess you forgot that Andy also made his business investments in America, providing employment for Americans.

So did Bill Gates. And he's the richest American. I think he probably cares about the middle class, because that's who buys his products.

Plus Carnegie was a great beneficiary of the steep tariffs that undergirded the post-Civil War economic boom in America. At the same time, Britain pursued a free-trade policy that hollowed out its economy and set the stage for decline to second-rate status.
