Very good essay Dave. The only problem I had with Mitt is that he thought PIRATE EQUITY was the whole economy (and now it is). If I recall my film history correctly Spartacus' cause gained a symbolic foothold when everyone claimed to be him, as the Romans caught up. In Mitt's case the building left him, and no one in the new GOP (Gestapo Operatives Party), will claim him. But you point is well taken.
