Freedom and The Economic Democracy Act
George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, and Donald J. Trump (among others, i.e. the 1%) are “independently wealthy.” That is to say, they never DEPEND on an employer or the government for their financial wherewithal. They own so much wealth producing capital that they can live off their dividends without ever having to consider taking a job, going to work, or punching a time-clock. Instead, they are effectively FREE to do what they want to do with their days, weeks, months, years, and their lives. That includes running for President of the United States if and when they simply choose to do so.
