CHANTILLY, Va. – At a private fundraiser at the home of pizza giant John Schnatter last month, Mitt Romney is seen on a cell phone video offering his candid thoughts on how Democrats and Republicans view wealth.

What a welcome, what a place this is my goodness,” said Romney, who is shown in the video standing outside at Schnatter’s estate in Anchorage, Ky. Schnatter is the founder of of the Papa John’s Pizza empire.

“Who would have imagined pizza could build this, you know that?” said Romney. “This is really something. Don’t you love this country?”

“What a home this is, what grounds these are, the pool, the golf course, you know if a Democrat were here he’d look around and say no one should live like this,” said Romney, as the crowd began to laugh. “Republicans come here and say everyone should live like this, all right. This is a real tribute to America, to entrepreneurship.”

Everyone can be rich!! Because, if everyone became wealthy enough to “live like [that],” of course there would still be thousands of people willing to work at Papa John’s for meager wages, employees willing to cheaply produce the materials Papa John’s uses, low-paid truck drivers willing to deliver these materials, and millions of newly rich people willing to eat at a shithole like Papa John’s.

Ah, the power of American Entrepreneurship. We can all be entrepreneurs and attain a beautiful home and grounds, just like Papa John himself. Because American Entrepreneurship never has to exploit someone else to prove successful.
