And then depended on socialized system to support him while he used it to advance himself.
“Self made” is bullshit.
There probably hasn’t been a real self-made wealthy person in a century.
Everyone got some kind of assistance. Whether it be the public schools, parent’s money, or loans, they all got a hand up and in the case of parental wealth they got a handout.
People constantly dismiss the social system that propped them up with schools, libraries, free or reduced cost school lunches, government grants, scholarships, or even a GI Bill as soon as they get rich they “did it all themselves.”
