Benjamin Franklin was in short a genius. I do believe he wanted wants best for the majority of the people and thats what he preached even if he didn't fall into that category.

I don't understand. Are you asking if Franklin was a hypocrite? There is no real evidence that he preached what he did not believe. Actually, he did no "preaching". He was not a minister of any kind. He was, however, an able diplomat, inventor and journalist. He is considered, historically, a decent, good-humored and intelligent personage. I think he believed what he wrote and said.

He was a middle class man, you should read "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin", he stood up for the middle class working man in a time when Kings and gold ruled over all majority. I come from his blood line, he was my 6th uncle on my father's side. :)

certain it truly is. and shortly with the way issues are going it truly is going to be more beneficial economically positive to not artwork and function the social classes provide your needs. yet this will also end even as no one works and all and varied is on welfare, because someone has to pay taxes to help those software. And if each and every man or woman is on welfare who's pay to taxes to help it. California is an effective social gathering of vote casting in funds, it truly is an effective social gathering of a state doing each and every little thing incorrect.

Middle class values don't preclude you from becoming rich and famous, in fact, they probably help, as long as you recognize that you should invest your surplus money instead of spending it on stuff.
From what I've observed in interviews, I think Warren Buffett has middle class values.
