There goes that senator again. Sheesh, if I had a nickel for every time a politician just totally avoided a question in one of these interviews….
Hmm, well I guess I’d have a pretty fair-sized amount of nickels. Which I guess would mean that I’d have more money than I do now, but they’re nickels so it wouldn’t be like I was rich or anything.
But wait! In order for that to be true I’d have to have some kind of incredible authority whereby I could levy taxes on individuals according to my whims. Hmmm….
In that sense I guess I probably would be rich. Because I could have as many nickels as I want. And all would fear my nickel-taking. I’d be rich and powerful. I’d be powerful enough to take power in this country. In place of a President I would be a King! Not elected but feared! Terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea, stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall give me nickels and despair!
(shudder)
I have passed the test. I will receive no nickels. I will diminish, go into the West, and remain… Bret.
