    "You didn't build that..." (But you can buy in-monetizing the American Dream.)

    Who can forget the howls of rage that rose from the barnyard circus that nominated Mitt Romney to carry the Repugnant standard into battle?

     

    Most self-congratulatory were the distorted versions of Obama's rather clumsy reworking of Liz Warren's "God Bless!", a caution directed to the smug successful who saw no contribution from the commons.

     

    Thanks to what is called the EB-5 visa program, we can accurately put a price upon the benefits inherent in a society where there are  good roads, (more or less) honest courts and law enforcement, and day to day security.

     

    For a $1,000,000 (sometimes only $500,000)  investment a green card may be purchased by foreigners seeking access to America.

     

    Turns out that we can't print them fast enough.

     

    Needless to say, no one is lining up to buy their way into Mexico.

     

    We built it, and now we can charge admission

     

     Suck on that,  Mitt.
