Newt isn’t the bloated one percenter offering ridiculous and severe remedies to the down and out that he appears to be. He has been there himself! That’s right, this video which details his rags to riches story shows how he began with one lowly, and ultimately sickly geometry teacher, and has improved his lot in life with each subsequent affair and marriage. As Newt says, "I’m literally pullin myself up by the bra straps!" There’s nothing more American than that.
