...of other peoples money. Now thinking on that perspective, that should qualify him as a good socialist, book cookers, and tax scofflaw for a position in the Obama administration. Here's a man that can show them how to make it happen. If anything the administration need experienced practical people like this. /sarc off

#9 Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're greedy and stupid! Did I just say greedy? Yes, greedy and stupid. The Made-off family hosted a victimless crime. Suck it up my greedy Amish clansmen.
