most are Machiavellian rather than "I made it on my own" ideologues (the Hunts, the Kochs, the Drumpfs)

but the Ramsey and Kiyosakis aren't about learning from the rich, they're about getting rich by catering to "aspirant classes"--unstable middle classes (and these days who isn't unstable in the middle class?) or the Herman Cain "I made it, therefore there's no racism and poor minorities are poor because they're ghetto" new-middle-class types
