No it's not. It helps to be born into a family with lots of money and connections ask Mitt.

You meant "As"?

Mitt routed his dollars to some tax heavens and that is definitely not a patriotic action.
You can make money and be a patriot at the same time. Obviously, it is a bit too difficult for Mitt.

I'd like to read that book.

Mitt gave 3 million dollars away in charity and paid 200,000 more in taxes than he was supposed to. Stop hating. He is playing by the rules. If you do not like the game, change it. Bottom line is the paying tax payers like me, are tired of the 50 percent + people that pay absolutely no income taxes (infact get money back in tax credits). APATHY arises when there is no skin in the game.
