.... and to a person they say he is a good guy. Surprise! You grow up as the
son of business owner in Upper Arlington, OH and spend your life around rich
country club people, the ultra rich, and you yourself are in the top 1% in income
of all people in America the odds are you are a republican.

BTW over his life I would guess Jack has given or been associated w/ at
least $100,000,000 worth of charity work.
