Middle class suburbia is not prominent attorneys and board members. What percentage of the country do you think has attained as much wealth and success as they had?I went to Wikipedia for Bill Gates and found this:Bill Gates - middle class family
Gates was born in Seattle, Washington, on October 28, 1955. He is the son of William H. Gates Sr.[c](b. 1925) and Mary Maxwell Gates (1929–1994). His ancestry includes English, German, and Irish/Scots-Irish. His father was a prominent lawyer, and his mother served on the board of directors for First Interstate BancSystemand the United Way of America
You telling me that is a typical family?
They were middle class suburbia, hardly Tom Steyer, Theresa Heinze, Mini Mike Bloomberg, or George Soros types.
Gates had a FAR less privileged upbringing than Barack Obama, yet ended up the richest man in the world. He inherited not one dime.
