 professor

Dave,

This essay might be of interest "President George Bush and the Gilded 
Age" by Professor Yoshi Tsurumi 
<http://www.glocom.org/opinions/essays/20040301_tsurumi_president/index.html>


Professor Tsurumi writes:

'At Harvard Business School, thirty years ago, George Bush was a 
student of mine. I still vividly remember him. In my class, he 
declared that "people are poor because they are lazy." He was opposed 
to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare, 
and public schools. To him, the antitrust watch dog, the Federal 
Trade Commission, and the Securities Exchange Commission were 
unnecessary hindrances to "free market competition." To him, Franklin 
Roosevelt's New Deal was "socialism." '
