I have no problem with a "wealthy President". President Obama is rich by most standards. However, he was also a struggling student, mingled with those who are poor and struggling. Sometimes people are poor by choice, but most are not. My family was poor, we had an "ice box, outdoor privy, coal furnace, and no car" in the 1940's and 1950's in Idaho and in Illinois.
Romney does not have that as part of his history. He was a "Rich Kid" from birth. He never really intermingled with the average person except when he "did his mission" in France but not in the USA. I notice that the Rich, CEO's live in gated communities, mingle with like Rich, and consider themselves "self made".
During the Merger and Aquisition of "Downsizing and Rightsizing" after the 1981 law changed by Reagan to allow Companies with creative accounting access to the deferred income of their employees "Retirement Heist" by Ellen Schultz, companies like Bain and other Corporate Raiders, ruthlessly stole and used defined benefit Pension funds, $Trillions and 100,000 defined benefit plans disappeard.
The attitude of "CEO's and Wall Street Bankers" were "We are going to make a lot of money" at the expense of anyone that gets in our way, and in this case, take the deferred Compensaion (Old Money) of the defined benefit pensions.
I had my pension stolen with the creative accounting. The only pensions left are Military, Federal and Public Employees, Unions, and Congress and described in "Retirement Heist".
Romney stole defined benefit pensions, he invented nothing (unless you consider the 1981 law that allowed access to Pension funds), made nothing, and had no Moral Compass or conscience that it was wrong, taking baby boomers pension funds.
The result is baby boomers cannot retire, the 401K is a farce(honey pot for Wall Steet while hyper trading skims and no trading tax to curtail high speed computer trading every second).
The Rich today, like 65% of the Forbes 400 who made their fortunes with other people's money, has disconnected from the American People, who made their Fortunes possible.
It amazes me how people can accept Bain Capital's $100 million Profit when a Company goes bankrupt. Are we naive to think the money was "just good management" while the company was driven in the ground (on purpose), the assets raided, and the Defined Benefit Pensions stolen, the customer base sold and long term employees fired and lost their deferred wages in their DB pension plans.
I hope the people "Wise Up" and thanks to NPR vs Fox and Limbaugh spewing Mis-information. But NPR will be silenced if Romney or one of his like, is placed in the White House.
