21 Seconds Of WTF Coming Your Way Courtesy Of This Presidential Candidate

[Playinghardball]

Here’s his totally in-touch advice about how to make it in the world

He went on to tell Jimmy John’s story about making it big in America by borrowing $20k from his folks. Because every kid has parents who have that kind of money available to lend, right?

1. Gee, we really need more union busting, low wage, exploitative fast food shitholes like Jimmy John's

a real success story in exploiting cheap labor.

[tclambert]

5. His point was that Jimmy John made himself a success, starting out with absolutely nothing,

except a big loan from his parents after he graduated from prep school (which means his parents are rich).

2. I have personally been very disappointed in my parents for not being rich.

Their lack of wealth has proven such a stumbling block to my success. Darn them.

4. Dad really screwed up by dying when I was a teenager.

3. If you have a single mother then ask her twice

[Fearless]

6. So out of touch with the average person!

My parents would have laughed at me. Why? Because if they had that kind of money they'd be set.

7. He didn't even get the story quite right -- I checked out Jimmy John on Wikipedia

It seems he didn't actually get a loan from his father to go into business. Instead, his father invested $25,000 in that first sandwich shop in return for 48% ownership.

Is this how the rich treat their own children? Or was even Romney too embarrassed to describe the deal accurately?

8. Forget Jimmy John

Look at the people behind him! They look as if they'd rather be anywhere but there. Oh, why did he come here?

9. He's so full of Shet.

Attack on success. His success. He should be upset. This attack on success is not success. It's his extraction of wealth from we poor schmucks , he's had his way with.. Nice , snow job, Mitt.
