The Biblical Billionaire from Bozeman...

 
 
   Greg Gianforte wants to be our next Governor and he has several strange notions about why we will just fall all over ourselves vote for him.
 
   We applaud him for his success in the business world that reportedly earned him more than a billion dollars thus far.  It proves his business acumen must be top-notch and he should certainly be able to help a lot of other entrepreneurs in Montana.

   Which brings us to several important questions:  Why does he want to invade our Montana political picture with his "nutty religious ideas?" (such as the Earth is only 6,000 years old and retirement is not Biblical, so keep working until you drop.)  Why not stay in the business world and keep those dollars rolling in? Instead of buying yourself a public office, go buy some businesses.  Why do these mega-rich tycoons insist on showing us their business worthiness by buying themselves power and authority in the public sector? 

   Why do they think we Montanans simply sit around, salivating at the chance to be represented by "the rich" so they can heap more benefits on their rich friends while continuing to ignore and diminish the Middle and Lower Class?  Finally, why do they think we would let them take a  chunk of our taxes for public schools and give them to private, religious, and charter schools?

   Gianforte has a hidden agenda and it is  for us to find out why he is running for governor in our state - a state in which he is a relative newcomer.

   One answer comes to mind:  He can more easily buy his way into the governor's mansion where there are a handful of voters to buy, as opposed to New Jersey, for example.

   Or, said another way:  Does Gianforte fancy himself as the "Big Fish" in a "Small Pond"...of suckers?
