True Conservative, the movie

Written by Walter Hecht   

True Conservative, the movie is a new release in which the principal role of John Bane is played by the severely conservative Mitt Romney. It features a cast of thousands, mainly "volunteers" from the Mormon church. John Bane's wife is played by Mitt's wife Ann.

The film traces Bane's early life from relative prosperity (his father's), through missionary work in France, to his present life among America's super-rich. Bane made his fortune, not by building it, but by restructuring companies and sending American jobs offshore. Bane travels widely among his many homes, but not as widely as his money looking for ways to increase at little or no risk and/or tax consequences. In point of fact, Bane constructed nothing on his own, even himself. Through government loans and bailouts, Bane owes more to the US taxpayer than he ever will acknowledge. The movie runs 3 hours 15 minutes, slightly shorter than Paul Ryan's time for the marathon. My rating is two thumbs down. I would rate it with more thumbs down, but I only have two.
