They use wealth, capital, ideas, ingenuity, laws and lawyers. Tinkering to wealth in your basement or garage is a long gone pipe dream.

We do all the right things, work, save, invest. We watched Louis Rukeyser, CNBC, funded IRAs that Reagan told us about. We read the WSJ, Barron's, Money magazine. Without inherited wealth, seed capital, education, patents, and hardball tactics, you're not getting there. You might do well, but not making it to the top. Theirs is a Republican wet dream.
