Even if he never recoups the $40 mil he’s supposed to have dropped on his (latest) vanity campaign, there’s plenty left to keep the Five Bros off welfare. At least until the Democrats manage to pass the much-feared confiscatory Death Tax. (Insert humorous sound effect here.)</p> Fortune said Romney had $250 million, and there are plenty of suckers left at the Belmont Temple.

Of course, Tagg may actually win by losing, unlike Brady. At least he gets 1/5 of whatever’s left in the Romney fortune.</p> Tom Brady and Tagg Romney — it’s been quite a week for the loser twins.
