All money is fiat money, you can apply value to seashells or marbles or whatever you want, it's all perception...

Been meaning to try it but we don't store for months at a time. 3-5 gallons a week.

is wrong. What Ryan says there is exactly right.

I was disappointed in the choice of music in both the Republican and Democratic conventions especially at their ending notes. Gone are the patriot themes WWII traditional band pieces and presidential marches and choir hymns.
Now all we get are the screwed up awful soul styled flourishes of the National Anthem and pop music mostly post hippie rebel themes. Now they only play it completely traditional at funerals for fallen soldiers and heros. Transparent attempt to pander to racial demographics and immigrants trying to placate through choice of popular music. I'm sure many on futures.io (formerly BMT) are aware of other issues than just the economic ones. It's just the biggest issue.

I see no one liked my Bill Gates idea.

I'd also vote for Stephen Colbert. But he isn't rich enough to win, his super pac failed pretty miserably.

We just need an above average intelligence guy who hasn't been a politician and isn't corrupted. That would be a nice start. And of course he would need to have a house majority, so that Congress doesn't roadblock every single thing he tries to do.

Probably too old now. But wouldn't mind if Jimmy Carter was another choice besides Obama and Romney.
Bill Gates... just didn't like how he was so ruthless in driving MSFT to take over and "assimilate" like a Borg; but maybe good idea if he had the whole country in mind as President and doesn't pick winners and losers like Obama tried to do with GM and Sylendra.

I'll just give up now

Independent = everyone in Congress would vote against him, both parties, he would never get anything accomplished

If I recall correctly, no independent has ever been elected as President, except for George Washington.

The article just pointed out one big example from a billionaire who is donating huge amounts of money to Romney as an investment in the returns he will receive should he win. I don't think the article said anything about only rich Republicans benefiting.
