Listened to the same program this morning. Mitt's father was a CEO of a car company. I'm wondering how much passive income he had. Mitt's income is all passive (capital gains), taxed at a much lower rate.

Hmmm? There was Vietnam and Kent State and Hippies were spit on and the drug laws were even more arcane back then. .........Our medical care is better today for sure, computers, phones, homes.............
