Well I only have a theory. Zig was positive, but it was not a phony positivity. It was based on the truth of our great free enterprise system, and how “you can get what you want by helping enough other people get what they want.” He was a big risk reward type guy.
He had to see that the new model was cronyism, and that successful entrepreneurs are being punished and vilified - undermining the very free enterprise system and the very America upon which Zig built his entire motivational template.
I don’t know how he felt about political issues as he was such a positive guy, he would not let on (publicly at least) on the corruption and problems we have
I think he was more of a Will Rogers type, though less political in his jokes and speeches. Humor all around. He was also a VERY devout Christian. Both he and “The Redhead” (his wife)
