I know that this isn't how you meant it, but your comment reminded me of why (one of the many reasons) I parted ways with the Catholic church. We were Catholics and when my dad died, our priest told my mom that he didn't know what it was she did, but it had to be "a whopper".
Unfortunately my parents were working class, paid their bills, never bought on credit, and just put what little money they had into savings which were quickly eaten up when they came down with prostate cancer (dad) and Alzheimer's (mom). So no way they could loan me $20,000. Mitt, you have $250 million I hear. More coming every year, from a job you haven't had in a long while. You could loan $20,000 to what, 12,500 people? You could probably get away with asking 20% interest or 50% of whatever business they start and come out ahead. Because what you say about free enterprise is that it's the greatest thing that's ever been invented. And Republicans claim that poor people are just lazy, on the government dole, or not Christian enough. So put up or shut up.
Sunset Boulevard aka The Boulevard of Broken Dreams, strewn with young people selling their bodies and souls in exchange for acting lessons and health club memberships, is but one parental loan away from being banished from the American Landscape, forever.
His family connections got him into Annapolis and Cindy's family got him elected to Congress.
To be fair, McCain didn't use his family connections to get out of that POW camp, though.

His homeworld is in orbit around Sirius.

Kids today are just too lazy to make that kind of effort. I bet most have never even tried.
I know this is late to the lists, but godDAMN, that picture creeps me the fuck out.
Not seeking for pity here, but just stating the facts. Dad dead when I was 7, mom dead when I was 19. Whom should I borrow from, fuckface?
god yes.
Yeah and sometimes they wind up on <i>Judge Judy,</i> where they both entertain and educate us.

Pay no attention to the man in front of the curtain.
The last Republican nominee for president who didn&#039;t get their big break in life because of family connections? Bob Dole.
