"Rapist Bill Clinton"? Was that allegation ever proven? I didn't think so. I think that's a bit strong to call an ex-President a rapist when it was never proven. He had is faults, but rape? Not a proven allegation. I would leave that one out.

Your point is well taken that there are many rich people who are self made. That is certainly one of the things that makes America great. That one can go from rags to riches. One can make a fortune in a lifetime. But, the majority of wealthy people simply inherited it. Take about any corporation that is out there, the owners of those corporations have passed their wealth down through the generations. The Eastmans, the Hess's, the Rockafellers, the Bushes, the Trumps. All inherited wealth. In any case, enough said on this subject. I think we're both right. Wealth is both earned and inherited. Now how you treat people once you've attained that wealth is a whole other matter.
