Mitt, Mitt, Mitt, Mitt, Mitt....
Mitt Romney went to the Daytona 500 NASCAR race Sunday for what should have been a chance to show he's one of the guys. Instead, in casual conversation with an Associated Press reporter at the Florida track, he reminded people once again that he is not exactly a regular Joe.
Asked by the AP reporter if he follows NASCAR, Romney responded, "Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans. But I have some great friends who are NASCAR team owners."

I listened on NPR when they interviewed some of the attendees at his now-famous empty stadium speech. The guy he knew Romney from high school ... 'Yeah, he was a nice guy, not the brightest...' or something to that effect.
Apparently the guy was being nice.

how do these middle of the bell curve make money?

They don't make money pansy, they have money given to them, they have good educations given to them through money, they have opportunities handed to them because they are around others with money who have opportunities, they invest their given money that makes more money, they hire smart people to make their money "work" for them.
It doesn't take a genius to be a millionaire when you've got a footing to start that's way above average. Just ask Donald Trump.
