<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If only they were humble multi-millionaires of the people, like previous cabinets. Then the common man would be better represented.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Probably not any less or more then in the past. They got theirs and now want to keep it.<br />We may get lip service but results? Time will tell. I am hopeful though.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>62 + million said let&#39;s give more tax breaks to the rich. So they are OK with the rich ruling us!<br />Electoral college voted and it final.<br />Doesn&#39;t mean we don&#39;t have to agree with it. <br />I can disagree with it, and is my right to do so, just like it is the right of others to disagree.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Was the last Cabinet poor??? I doubt it very much.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Different only in degree from the past. Give an example of someone pulled from the &#39;common&#39; people to be a cabinet member in past administrations. The only bitch is that Trump did not pull his cabinet together from the feeding trough of permanent government sycophants.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I personally would turn down the request to serve in Trump&#39;s cabinet. If you are saying that a store manager from Wal-Mart knows more about the economy than Wilbur Ross, chairman of WL Ross &amp; Co., who has made a career of resurrecting dying companies then you are mistaken sergeant. If you look at Obama&#39;s choice for the same cabinet position it was Penny Sue Pritzker (born May 2, 1959) who is an American &quot;billionaire&quot; businesswoman, entrepreneur and civic leader who is currently serving as the 38th United States Secretary of Commerce. She is the founder of PSP Capital Partners and Pritzker Realty Group. So there weren&#39;t any shop keepers and farmers in Obama&#39;s cabinet either. if you surround yourself with successful people you will be successful. Obama is the only person at this time that I can think of that can refute this claim in most every sector of his cabinet.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good point, we should have a net worth cap on presidential candidates. Only let those with limited success run. Perhaps another limit should be on Congressional candidates and when their net worth doubles, on a $172K salary, they can no longer run for reelection.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think it is obvious that none of the elected officials in Washington DC can relate to the average citizen.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think we are a lot better off with a cabinet full of people who have actually accomplished impressive things, rather than people or much more modest life experience.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They&#39;re all businessmen/women of one sort or another. Therefore, they absolutely relate to the economy, and fixing that will have greater effect on the average citizen than nearly anything else they do.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>After 20 JAN, the original GW will be overtaken as the richest US president (normalizing the wealth). The cabinets from day one have been stacked with rich folk. So I&#39;d expect they&#39;ll &quot;relate&quot; as much or as little as before to &quot;average&quot;; whatever that means. It&#39;ll be interesting to see what this Executive Branch&#39;s take on our Constitutional Commercial Republic is. BTW that&#39;s what we are. We&#39;ve tend to forget that.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Did the middle class and poor have a say in the previous cabinet? No. I would rather have a successful businessman or woman in the cabinet than what we have had.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you think the last Presidents Cabinet was poor your on another planet all together....lol Each of those folks was a multi-millionaire if not a lot higher in Net Worth. So nice try at a new litmus test. However I would argue that Mr. Trump has some Generals of less means on his Cabinet than Obama did. As for having Billionaires in government, they are all over the place on the Democratic side in the Senate, House of Representatives, etc. Why is it only an issue if they serve a alleged Republican?<br /><br />The poor in this country already got a huge reward in the NYSE upswing, they will see more benefits after Trump takes office. So much better to lift the poor out of poverty THAN to add more of the Middle Class to their ranks...........which Obama was doing.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is a great question. None of them have ever lived without or been at the bottom. they don&#39;t relate anymore than the working poor or any other class can relate to them. That said, we need those in power with power. Money buys power. As many buy elections, they must still meet the press, unless they think they don&#39;t have to. The PR battle and those that actually guard our freedom have been dismissed and that is the first sign that governing America has reached a new low. I&#39;m not hopeful. And I&#39;m a Republican for those who foolishly dismiss us as &quot;libtards&quot;.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not sure that any cabinet in my memory related to the middle class and poor. It&#39;s obvious that the new cabinet will be tremendously business oriented but how that will relate to the average US citizen remains to be seen. Cross your fingers, time will tell!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So the question is how effective will people who led companies efficiently enough that they became wealthy? I would hope as effective as they were in the private sector.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My problem is not with wealthy being placed in the positions. My problem is what many of the wealthy represent. I do not feel comfortable with Tillerson and his ties to Russia and how Exxon has skin in the game already. I don&#39;t trust Sessions past and present ideals in the ability to be the person who will be the top civil rights cop in the land. DeVos I am afraid will take even more money from a school system that needs the funding to place it into schools that have the money. <br />Rick Perry wanted to eliminate the department of energy who together with Scott prewitt as sec of the EPA will dismantle both agencies only leaving our natural resources vunrable to destruction. <br />Flynn has the biggest tin foil hat of all in Washington and lost his job over it. He has tie to the Russians and the hacking and can&#39;t be trusted along with being mentally unstable. <br /><br />So to say that I feel confident is a huge no. I am not comfortable with his picks. I was willing to give him a chance but that left me as soon as I saw his choices. He has not only selected poorly he has selected the very people that are against the very agencies that they have been selected to lead. With both the house and senate falling under Republican control and most seem to not believe in science and also fall into the pockets of the big corporations I do not see them not getting comfirmed. I am afraid it will be a bubble that we will see a temporary up lift and then a huge burst.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>John Kerry is married into the Heinz family. He&#39;s not far off from that number.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My concern isn&#39;t that they relate to me, it&#39;s whether or not they can do what Trump promised. If not, he will be a one term president.
