The claim about American dropouts is about success not needing the blessing of the establishment. How many of those billionaires aren't Party members?

- sgroppino 9y agoSome people may think of Wall Street as "the establishment", too.
- powerapple 9y agoyou become a party member after you become a billionaire. Then there is responsibility comes with it, you will need to help the government with jobs and other things. Sometimes you will need to help to revive a bankrupt company for example.
- iguy 9y agoYea I agree, it's far from an exact analogy. Some certainly did get very rich from Party power, and some were invited to join once already rich... does anyone refuse such an invitation, and stay rich?
