Business-in-law

When a person marries the child of a business owner only to “get into” the business that the parent owns. A great way to land a good job without a lot of effort or work.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI):
“If I marry that woman, her dad owns a big business! Nothing makes a woman more attractive than daddy’s big bank-roll. I need to hit that to guarantee I never have to work hard in my life!”

Ron Johnson is a product of a business-in-law marriage.
