Some people criticize Mitt Romney and label him out of touch with the 'common man' because of his wealth. He is very wealthy and made his wealth on Wall Street. He worked hard, made investments, and made a profit for himself, the company and the shareholders. An American Capitalism story of success.
So, why all the attacks on Romney's money? Why does anyone care what he does or doesn't do with his money? People complain about him not paying enough in taxes when they should be screaming for TAX REFORM instead!!
"But Blue, Warren Buffet says rich people should pay more in taxes?" Mr. Buffet could donate ALL his BILLIONS to the govt and it wouldn't even scratch the national DEBT!!
Okay, so Romney doesn't have to struggle to pay his mortgage. He may be able to send his kids to private schools and colleges. He can afford to buy his wife nice things like Cadillacs. He doesn't worry about the price of gas and groceries like we do.
I thought America was a place where people aspired to a higher standard of living? They worked hard to make a better life for themselves and their children. They frowned upon depending on the govt for assistance. And most of all, they celebrated the success of others and were proud of capitalism.
The economy is the central issue of this election and attacking a candidate's personal success in his business career is only a distraction. Let's stick to the issues.
So what if Mitt Romney is a rich white guy? Is that really such a bad thing?

Again:
In the 4 years BEFORE Romney took office, debt rose $4B (from 12B to 16B - a 34% increase). During Romney's term, it increased an additional $2B which was only a 16.4% increase. Is that great? Hell no, but unlike Obama at least he CUT the rate of debt increase by half.
And for the Obama advertisement to say that Massachusetts FELL to 47th? The state ranked 50th in job growth the year before Romney took office, and it IMPROVED to 28th in his final year. It averaged 47th for the whole of term, but again it was improving and did not FALL anywhere.
Do I like Romney? No, but he has FORGOTTEN more about Capitalism than Obama will EVER know.
in the White House and offices for their "councils" in the basement, to see that things are
in line with "expectations"?
...because the one percent needs more power and influence over our daily lives.
...maybe you'll like this one a little better.
Edit. I watched it. Now explain what it is you are trying to point out.
...is it really that hard to understand?
I posted this picture...
...with this message...
"...because the one percent needs more power and influence over our daily lives."
Not to confuse you, but this was just an example of me being sarcastic. (I really don't believe that the one percent needs more power and influence over our daily lives).
You then astutely pointed out that the picture that I provided to exemplify Romney's status in the 1% was actually an example of a picture being "photoshopped" or digitally altered. You quickly realized that Romney probably does not possess the knuckle tattoos which he appears to proudly display in the photograph.
So then, I provided a well documented photo which exemplifies the same thing, which, apparently you needed to have explained to you.
...is it really that hard to understand?
...apparently it was pretty hard for you to understand.
Now say it man!!!
The problem is HOW he got that rich.
