Using these people to illustrate a range of philosophies, not the particular people themselves.

Paulson, Bob Rubin, Bob Reich, Mitt Romney, Warren Buffet

Actually they are really smart; Mitt has a JD (and) a MBA from Harvard...Robert Reich has a PhD from Oxford...

That's a serious operation. I'm not surprised they are one of the last two standing.
