Putting one's mind to it is necessary but not sufficient. One must also have some essential talents among which are the ability to focus ones efforts and identify problems accurately. Also having a bit of luck doesn't hurt one bit.

Most people do not have the focus and drive to be successful business persons which is why most people end up working for others.

He strikes me as more someone with sociopath tendencies honestly, or a narcissist but then I'd think he'd come off as a bit more emotional. But then I doubt I or anyone else here can properly diagnose him with anything.

QFT.


What does "QFT" mean?

I'm not a professional so I'm not qualified to diagnose Mitt Romney with anything, except for Mormonism Syndrome.

If America was a proper democracy we would be seeing New deal pt 2, is their a level of wealth concentration that would concern those on the Right if the top 1 % owned 50 % of the nations wealth would that be excessive ?

At what figure will America unite and say "enough is enough" :?

Maybe when we are down to two classes......the poor and the very wealthy, there will be a lot of pissed off former middle class people.

This might have been what it meant when Cornflake used the abbreviation (thanks for clearing it up by the way Cornflake), but your original response was just as valid. It was just a different version of the same thing. :)

Venture capitalism is not boring. It's very interesting and it takes a lot of social skills.



You can say that again! This idea of Mitt Romney having asperger syndrome is dumb. Just because a political figure lacks social savoir fair don't mean that he has a social disability.

Mitt Romney's vicious, domineering behaviours & "youthful pranks". Really, a jerkass rich kid.
