(3,596 posts)You look into his eyes and observe his gutless shit-eating grin and know he is evil. He has absolutely no compassion for anyone because he has never been denied anything. He has never wanted for anything, except for more and more money and more power.
There are two kinds of wealthy people....people who are greedy and heartless such as the Walton family (of the Wal-Mart corporation) who deny workers sick pay on their first sick day, the likes of most on Wall Street and those in the boardrooms of the soulless corporations around the world. They ware all about money and power and more of it. Mittens belongs to that crowd.
Then you have those who, regardless of how they got their wealth, are magnanimous, generous and genuinely empathize with others. Leaders such as Theodore Roosevelt (who was one trust busting Republican), FDR, JFK, etc. exemplify that type of person.
