Or maybe it was Jimmy Buffet or Warren G Harding.

Is this where you cry or call me a racist?

You don't know jack shit about me or where I started, which was at the bottom. So stop playing your class warfare card.

I don't owe you or anyone else anything. And you are not entitled to a damm thing, other than your ability to "Pursue happiness", but it is not a Right.
