You don't go from rags to riches on your own accord by being a dummy. It's a lot harder to successfully run your own business than most people think. Since he made his money using his own brains and talent I'm inclined to give him more respect than half the daddy's little rich kid politicians out there. |

Agreed. Arnold did get a degree from the Univ of Wisconsin via correspondence courses, and no Big Ten university gives out business degrees that are "simple" to get.

Oh yeah, how could I forget? My money would still be on Carl Weathers over Richard Dawson for the next Governor. |
Which one is dead?
Richard Dawson is always rumored to be.
I would put my money on him seeing as you live in Missouri and they elected a dead guy to the Senate in 2000. :D
I miss living in KC sometimes....that was one entertaining place to be during the 2000 campaign.

If you want to talk about rags to riches, please talk about Cruz. He went from a crop picker to now lt. gov. Anyway Arnold came here with a opportunity setup for him by um... forgot the fitness company, but he was basicly setup. Lets not forget Planet Hollywood :haha:
I will agree with you about the daddy's money part though :) |

Setup? How so? His parents were poor, he was poor, and he made his millions LONG before his lucrative movie career. He subsidized his own schooling, invested his own money ... he went from poor austrian immigrant to wealthy millionaire. He started off no better than cruz except with a desire to be physically fit. |

Not really, just a little jab at the Californian "I don't give a about the world around me" stereotype. Actually have a number of friends around LA and San Diego.
i guess living in kansas city takes it tolls |
where did u get that "i dont give a about the world around me" stereotype of californians from? i've lived in cali my whole life i dont really see that attitude...if there were people like that it'd be those damn new yawkers...at least we're not as arrogant and obnoxious as them :crazy:
and about heatwave muggy summers and bitter ass cold winters...i feel for you...here in the bay area we have the greatest weather in the world...pack ur bags and move to california |

His parents were not poor. His father was a Nazi MP officer, and then became a police officer in postwar Austria up until he died. Im sure the most police officers have their familes pretty well off, alot better than poor. But yeah he did get rich before his movie career through his fitness. |
