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?

What's MSMBC?
Oh, oh, you mean MSNBC. I get it. Avoiding trademark issues, eh?
BTW, you give an article from a liberal source as your proof? How about court documents?
Brilliant!!!
Obviously, you cannot read. If you could, you would notice that after the 'liber', there was no 'al', but there was an astonishingly larger 'tarian'.
And by the way, does the following link seem very 'liberal' to you?

0bama is a rich 1%er and technically more White than Black since he has some arabic blood on his father's side.
Liberals demonize success if it has to be worked for.
And Obumer aint even in the upper-middle class, either! Last I knew - he is a multi-millionaire
What's bad is Romney doesn't have a problem with Obama being rich.
Obama has a problem with Romney being rich and feels Romney should give his money away,at the same time Obama being exempt from his own beliefs .
Good example...Obama has earned millions but he has a brother still living in a beat up shack.
Pretty sad when he can't find it in his heart,to help his own brother..
"Do as i say,not as i do".
So what? We should all be pissed at him for being successful? Why?
I'd be willing to bet that alot of people don't know that when his father died in 1995, Mitt donated his inheritance to BYU's George W. Romney Institute of Public Management, and then made all of his money on his own. And that's a FACT. Don't believe me? Look it up...

So... "Romney's a rich white guy"... and that's not a bad thing.
And, after the speech he gave today in Ohio, I'd say his chances just took a BIG step forward.
The only thing wrong with Mitt Romney's money, as far as his detractors are concerned, is that it is his, not theirs.
But he's an ass who has absolutely NO IDEA how the other half lives...nor does he care.
