Question of the day: Why do these highly successful business moguls think they should run for public office? Why not just stay in the private sector, create lots of these jobs they all crow about, and continue making money for themselves? Why do they have this drive to mess with people's lives by telling them what to believe, where they should send their kids to school, and why they should never retire?
Greg Gianforte, Bozeman's mega-money man, has filled out paperwork for a Republican exploratory trek he hopes will end at the Governor's Mansion in Helena.
His resume shows an abundance of skill at running a large company, but absolutely no skill at running for public office. The Gianforte financial picture reportedly shows his worth at somewhere around one-and-a-half billion dollars...give or take a few million. Have you noticed that there seems to be no shortage of very rich businessmen and women in the Republican ranks that believe they can be the saviors of our states and our nation?
Gianforte's wife, Susan, is also chin deep in educational politics. She seems to have a serious bone to pick with public schools and would like to see much less taxpayer money going to them and much more going to charter and private schools. It seems to be a religious thing with her. She gets very excited when pushing for the study of creation in our schools.
Wouldn't they make a marvelous team running our great State of Montana...into the ground?
They're not from Montana and I can't find a single person who invited them...much less asked them to muck up the progress we've enjoyed the past several years.
One teeny weeny quirk about Gianforte you might enjoy: He says the idea of retirement is not Biblical. So, that would probably fit right in with all of his other Republican views: privatize Social Security, cut Medicare, cut Medicaid, and don't even think about retirement. (Biblical thought: anyone caught trying to quit at sixty-five will be taken to the town square and stoned to death.) Hence, no further need for Social Security, no wasteful payout from a company's pension plan, and no bleeding heart Liberals' need for AARP!
I do have something that is Biblical, however. A rich man can no more get to Heaven (or the Governor's Mansion) than a camel can get through the eye of a needle.
How can we be so lucky...it seems these meddling rich people just keep falling into our laps. We Montanans listened to the Republican witch hunt of a man named Walsh and elected one of these rich guys to the U.S. Senate, and we're still feeling the misery of that.
Praise the Lord...pass the antacids...and hang on to your retirement accounts...the real Montana Westerners will rise again!
