I am amazed at the lengths people will go to politicize anything. Gen does do charity work. And starting a business is not a uniquely Republican concept. There are businesses In every country in the world. Democrats have businesses too.
Next we will hear about Geb being an obvious supporter of Paul Ryan's budget.

Geb sounds like a conservative / republican. If he were democrat he would want the govt to give everyone a handout.[/quote]
This is big news. Hope that Ryan wins and Ethiopia has a chance to escape poverty.

Why would I loan money to someone for 0% interest if there is a risk of more than 1% that it won't be paid back?
Increase the interest to 10% and we're talking.
Oh wait, that's what banks do.
But they're evil, aren't they?

Would he really donate ALL of his prize money? If he wins Uncle Sam will take a big chunk of it.
Are you really that ignorant? If he donates his prize money to charity, Uncle Sam gets NONE of it. ZERO. NADA ZIP.

Hall needs to go to Detroit or other parts of the country and donate money there first.
