I confess I was a it shocked to be compared to George Washington in the title. After all, he was a slave-owner who was one of the richest of the the so called "Founding Fathers." He owned over 50,000 acres of land, much of which he obtained as a ruthless land speculator. His estimated net worth was about $600 million in current dollars.
Having said that, you made your point in the body of the essay...lol
