Gosh, you wouldn't be biased, would you?

Apparently his father came over from Cuba in 1957 to attend the University of Texas. Somebody must have had some money for him to do that.

Believe it or not, but at one time people were able to work their way through school I did it myself.

Then 13 years later the father owns his own seismic-data processing firm in Canada.

He achieved a measure of success? Wow, that's suspicious. Better vote for Bernie, he didn't run a business ... he was a crappy unsuccessful carpenter who sponged off his wife and unemployment insurance.

Ted, himself, goes to the finest U.S. Universities
Yes, he was a brilliant student. I suspect he won scholarships.

and gets a Big government job at the age of 29.
You're forgetting clerking for a SC justice and working for a private law firm. But yes, he went to work for then Gov. Bush and subsequently for the Dept of Justice. Remember, I mentioned he's brilliant.

His biggest accomplishment in the U.S. Senate has been reading "The Cat in the Hat" during a filibuster.
He took a break from filibustering in support of defunding Obamacare to read a book to his daughters who were watching from home. That was sweet. Too bad he didn't get it defunded.
