100 to 1 leverage: A fundamental right of all Americans.
Perhaps if this man hadn't skipped college, he would realize how stupid the business decisions he is outlining were.
Nonetheless, he makes some good points about the pervading sense of entitlement in this country, though pinning it on the democrats is simply inaccurate.

Does this man not pass by hundreds of those less fortunate, either by choice or by circumstance and not think that some of his wealth should - in a fair and decent society - be used in an attempt better their lives in some key ways? Like maybe a doctor?
I hate paying taxes too, but J.H.C we live in the best damn continent (I'm Canadian) on the planet. We didn't do anything but win the birth lottery. We can't be so damn greedy all the time.

No, he's part of the segment of the populace that thinks there is a 1:1 correlation between effort and payoff. He worked hard and now he's wealthy. Ergo: anyone not wealthy must not have worked hard. It's a classic case of affirming the consequent.

During the Eisenhower years, the top tax bracket exceeded NINETY PERCENT. I run a business that makes considerably more than $250,000 per year. The Obama tax plan will impact me in 2009. We sweated to build it. No government program helped us. And I call bullshit on Cory the Well Digger.
