While I did know that they came from "poor" and worked to get here, the video put some meat on the bones. There were statistics presented but outside of context, again what I expected. As I tell my friends, this place isn't for everyone, and some will always find stuff to complain about, some will always begrudge the success of the Morse family and someone will never be satisfied. For those of us that have the kool aid glass half full, this is a great place to live and it's great to wake up every morning and only have to worry about me....and that's the opportunity the Schwartz/Morse family gave to each us.
When and who promoted the story that the Schwartz family was poor?? Harold was a successful businessman who owned several radio stations. Some family also owned a successful restaurant. Poor to me is wondering where we will find money for food tomorrow.
