Hi j-t,
it's the true believers who are the most dangerous.
they don't sell evil. they sell belief in principles which on the surface are appealing.
but in this case, the observation is so weak you know you are dealing with a person who has no thoughts on the source of economic vitality at all.
culture?
sure. but i'd maybe want to start with a drop of oil! and the opportunity to trade with the world.
mitt's own life is a demonstration that inheritance also helps.
