re: Who was the worst president in American history?

It depends on how you interpret his wording.

He is technically right. There are MANY hardworking and smart people out there.

The idea that everyone who isn't living upper middle class isn't "working for it" is extremely naive. There are many factors in the marketplace that influence outcomes.

As for the business, that can go both ways. Some people are self starters, so your discontent with him is based off of that.

But many people get breaks in the form of large loans only earned off their parents/spouses credit. Or they knew an already established person who could help them.
