Nope, not at all. Actually, even Daddy didn't "build" American Motors, he just ran it for a while. And, IIRC, it didn't last long after his time there.

No, businessmen who actually did "build" great companies that employ substantial amounts of people and lasted a long time are folks like Carnegie, Ford, Gates.....you know, guys who actually did start with nothing, or next to it, and built something huge.

Mitt Romney is no Andrew Carnegie. That is an absolute joke.
