To the max. We definitely suffer from that attitude down here in the states.

I would further say that in so many of these cases when they are born wealthy and achieve success they get that feeling they hit a triple but really they were already born on third base. So they think they have all this experience, expertise, etc and really all they had was an enormous head start. That leads to the person believing bad policy and surrounding themselves with the same enablers that got them there.
