“Romney, Jr would never have gotten it off the ground, but for Daddy’s money and connections”
Harvard also brought us John B sKerry and many other left wing poly sci operatives who have contaminated every cabinet in government with their liberal socialist influences.
That, my fellow Freeper, is called political nepotism.
We have politicians being raised in their daddy and grand daddy’s shadows to be politicians. The political “familys” have the arrogance of royalty. Name brand recognition generates connections in politics that very few outsiders could ever make. Al Gore is a prime example of riding his daddy’s coat tails. And Daddy Gore got a lot of money from Standard Oil (Armand Hammer) by brokering oil drilling deals in communist USSR.
Favors like that are re-paid for generations.
Nobody ever set me up in a business that made me 300 million bucks. But then my daddy wasn’t politically connected. He was just a successful middle class businessman. In the world of politics, middle class business experience carrys no weight. Gotta broker million dollar deals to be successful.
Occidental, not Standard Oil, but otherwise correct.
(Standard Oil was John D. Rockerfeller)
“Nobody ever set me up in a business that made me 300 million bucks.”
And nobody ever will.
