I'm Very Appreciative Of, And I Also, Having Traveled The World, Know That The United States Is One Of The Few Places Where There Really Are No Limitations. As Long As You've Got Drive And Hard Work And A Good Idea And You Can Get Out There And Do Your Thing, There's No Social Classes, So In A Lot Of Countries There's A Big History Of Regardless Of How Much Money You May Make, There's Still That Little Thing Where You're Not In Society. That Doesn't Exist Here.
