This is also true. Once you have excess capital it becomes pretty easy to sustain and grow it. But for all his faults, he doesn't strike me as a lazy fella. You?

Kind of he does. There is no way he works harder than his Dad. George went from polygamist Mexican Poverty in the depression to turning around the U.S. Auto industry. $0 to millions of Dollars. Mitt when from rich to richer. George also had the morality to opposed the Vietnam war as a republican after he visited. Mitt strikes me as guy that thinks digging ditches is not hard work but working in an office is. He was born on third and thinks he hit a triple.

he needs to read.

"It's gotten to where Mitt can barely afford his daily cigar rolled in the tanned flesh of a forsaken child."

He is a mormon he can not smoke.

"can not"?

Check your facts. Just like you Mormons can do anything thy want. Practicing Mormons generally don't smoke- but try could... Semantics I know, but there's an important distinction between can not and chooses not to.

Nice I actually used the verb does first but changed it. :)

An action I now regret.

and uh - sorry if that tone sounded rude or anything. I was late night posting from my phone... and probably could have found a more polite way of saying it. no offense intended.

Oh I was not offended at all. My statement is is true but in good humor.

That's nice of him. See.... he's compassionate.

The problem is the skin cigar factories are non union and don't give maternity leave so it is still bad.
