And I don't think it matters if the candidate worked at McDonalds as a kid, or grew up extremely rich, or grew up on government assistance. What matters to me, in the end, is does the candidate have the same agenda as I have?
You seem to be a young person. I might be able to dig up some evidence that when you grow up rich and receive handouts, it will effect the way that person governs a society or even a business. King George III comes to mind. I bet he grew up this way. Just read the Bill of Rights and you will see a ton of accusations against him.
Those who struggle seem to be much more grounded. My boss isn't perfect but I can tell that he didn't grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth.
