Good points. But lets now compare Bush to Romney. Both very wealthy, but I feel only 1 truly knows how to manage and earn it.

And did those listed above inherit their riches, or did they work hard and earn it for themselves?

There lies the difference.

I think the majority of people who work hard and earn their millions on their own have a tendency to be more liberal (as in, wanting to help others) and those that inherit their money tend to not give a damn about anyone else but themselves.

I think only Jimmy Carter was born wealthy. Ted Turner inherited his dad's advertising business, but it was not very profitable when he acquired it.

I don't think the Carters were wealthy either. At best, they were upper middle class. The had a farm and a small farm supply store.

Quote:
When his father died in 1953, he resigned his commission and returned to Plains. In addition to working his own farm, he continued a small business of his father's, selling fertilizer and farm supplies. He did the manual labor while his wife Rosalynn kept the books. Carter's Warehouse grew into a profitable general-purpose seed and farm supply operation.

Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
