[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is she acting like she's some down a$$ soccer mom from Glen Burnie?

Rich people acting like poor people. Poor people acting like rich people. [/quote]

Could it be that she might be "rich" but she enjoys the simple things in life?  EGADS!!  What a shocker.  You people and your labels.  My eyes are going to roll out of their sockets.[/quote]

Seriously. Mitt Romney is teased amongst his sons for being "frugal".  They're not glitzy people.  He's a self-made man and he worked hard for it - took a huge risk - why the hate? Isn't what he did what American is all about?  Agree or disagree with the politics - I'm still undecided.... but why does the fact that he's been successful in life seem to be a point of contention???  Aren't those type of stories what we want to hear MORE of and should be encouraging? [/quote]

Serious question. How can uoube undecided between two candidates who represent polar opposites?

But as far as Romney being rich, it's insulated him from what most Americans experience every day. He may have lived in a basement apartment, but there was no way in hell his dad would have ever let him get put out on the streets if he failed.  Most of America doesn't have that safety net. He may have built a business, but it's MUCH easier to do so when you come from wealth. And, speaking as a person who grew up poor and was poor throughout my 20s,but who is now considered part of the top 5% in income, I know that "I" have lost touch to a significant degree with how lower income people struggle EVERY DAY. I can't imagine Romney ever knew. [/quote]

And by the way, as an independent voter I can tell you one of the major issues that is turning me off in regards to the Democratic party right now is this notion that people who are wealthy, who have been successfull, should somehow feel ashamed of themselves. Somehow they are not qualified because they have not suffered enough. Wealth, entrepreneurism and ambition are bad. It is a huge sticking point for me.  Of course, there are many issues that are also sticking points for me on the R side.[/quote]
