75. if anything...it was the fact that the media centered in on how rich Kerry
is and they have never really leveled with the American public on how very rich George Bush and his family is...
In the end it was media distortion and the public suffers from such a severe lack of attention that they forget that most men who have run for and won the presidency have been wealthy men..either self made or inherited..
The few men who were not rich coming into office ended up rich because of it...
George W. Bush (inherited wealth) Bill Clinton (Not wealthy from birth, but is now wealthy due to Presidency) George H. W. Bush (inherited wealth) Ronald Reagan (made his money in films and got wealthier as he aged) Jimmy Carter (not very super wealthy) Gerald Ford (not super wealthy...but presidency enriched him) Richard Nixon (presidency made him wealthier..didn't come from money) Lyndon Johnson (married money and made money) John Kennedy (Born into money) Dwight Eisenhower (selfmade man...but not super wealthy) Harry Truman (not wealthy but left comfortable by presidency) Franklin Roosevelt (inherited wealth) Herbert Hoover (wealthy ..I think self made)
