(How ya livin Biggie Smalls?) I’m surrounded by criminals

Heavy rollers even the sheisty individuals…

The Notorious B.I.G. warned us about heavy rollers and sheisty individuals in 1995 with Junior Mafia.

But what is a shiesty individual?

Derived from the word “shyster,” it describes an unethical, unscrupulous person.

Its crudest definition boils down to someone who is low-down, dirty, corrupt and is known to be a suspicious character, someone who doesn’t think about others and do things that help them, knowing it harms someone else.

Self-aggrandizing and an appreciation of self worth is an extent of a sheisty individual.

Which brings us to Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.

It’s safe to say that Money Mitt has displayed characteristics of being a sheisty individual.

The infamous “secret” Romney video that dropped last week has garnered over 8.8 million hits with more then 50,000 comments.

In the video Romney told a group of fundraisers that “47 percent” of voters are “dependent on government” and see themselves as “victims.” 

After his comments, Romney backpedaled, claiming that they were “inelegant,” and that he will be the president of the “100 percent.”

Too late dude, your secret plan has been exposed. Mitt only wants to be President to help rich people.

Which goes to show that he is a shiesty individual; he wants to President of the United States, but stabs 47 percent of them in the back.

The extent of his shiestyness doesn’t end there. In an exclusive interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, Romney was asked about his personal investments, which amounted to about $20 million last year, and how he feels about paying a 14 percent tax rate as compared to a guy making $50,000.

The former Massachusetts Governor said:

“It is a low rate,” Romney said. “And one of the reasons why the capital gains tax rate is lower is because capital has already been taxed once at the corporate level, as high as 35 percent.”

When asked if he believes that rate is fair, Romney said he thought it was the “right way to encourage economic growth…to get people to invest, to start businesses, to put people to work.”

This has become a classic Romney talking point. How is paying a lower tax rate creating jobs? How do we make that leap?

Romney is nothing but a businessman who wants to be the President at any cost.

We can’t have another businessman in the White House, we already had George W. Bush, and he wasn’t even a good one.

In a nutshell, this is Mitt Romney:

That’s Money Mitt Romney for you, a man who will smile in America’s face and do anything to get elected, including segregating 47 percent of the country. The businessman will always look to see what’s in it for him, putting his own self-interest before the country.
