[Winona Online Democracy] Dwayne, Their has been many who have wealth but choose not to exercise power. Among those would be several Nobel Prize Winners. Two specific individuals would be Oseola McCarty, a humble 89 year old retired laundress from Hattiesburg, Miss. who donated $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi and Matel Dawson Jr., a Ford Motor Co. employee. Dawson, 75, an astute investor who was unable to finish high school, lives in a one-bedroom apartment in Highland Park, Michigan and drives a Ford Escort to work everyday. In 1996 he gave $200,000 to Wayne State University and $240,000 to the United Negro College Fund. In 1997 he also gave $100,000 to Louisiana State University. Some people who have made money simple enjoy the opportunity to take care of their families and enjoy life without the complexity of politics or business.
