Reminds me of Mr. Burns from the Simpsons
That man is disgusting!

And all of those who are in th 47% who support Mitt Romney need to see what they are REALLY supporting. Talk about slaves on a plantation. Poor whites who vote Republican are definitely mindless slaves to the GOP.

He was building the largest single family home in Amercia then his business, along with the economy, tanked. I saw "The Queen of Versailles" and it was all there.

I've been there when they've had part of the house closed off because the family was in town, and no, its not that I didnt spend the extra money to tour the rest of the home, because they werent offering tours for that reason. The family does come into town you know in order to review the business operating.
