For Mitt, from a billionaire in the movie Being There

but if I am to be honest with myself, I must admit
that they have no use for me either."

If you've seen Being There, you were not doubt shocked by how terrible the things this man said were. But some of the things he said were interesting:

"I have heard the word "sir," more often than I have heard the
word "friend," but I suppose there are other rewards for wealth."


"To raise your rifle is to lower your sights."

No matter what you are told
there is no such thing as an even trade.

Hopefully, Americans will realize this as they watch the media and politicians try to act as if all that has happened over the past 30 years were fair. It's sad that Americans don't yet realized that the wealthy deserve some punishment for cheating working people. Worse, today these cheating rich are the ones who act as if THEY were cheated instead of the of the ones doing the cheating and swindling.
