what’s bigger than a successful businessman? Were the founding fathers all part of the government? I know most all of them were highly successful businesss people.
George Washington ran the largest distillery outside of Europe for one. The founders were not ignorant, backwoods peasants. They were men of reason, will, intelligence and (usually) wealth as well.
If *omney had been a Founding Father, we’d all be speaking with English accents and flying the Union Jack... that is until the Nazis nuked us off the map.
