And Obuma has proven time and again he doesn't have the experience. Oh talking about Obuma again.

About Mitt, well obviously he is too stupid to be a millionaire. He must have done it all w/o any experience whatsoever, right? Silly man for knowing how corporations work and having the wherewithall to make companies efficient or fail. I certainly don't want his brains in the white house. He might actually get things turned around and we can't have that.

Let's just keep the guy who continues to contribute to the tanking of the economy. Yea, that's the one I want.

Just guessing here, but it may have helped Romney that his father was rich and chairman of American Motors. Just saying.

Mitt did give all his family money away. And his sons all work real jobs instead of being community organizers.

He was already rich by the time his father died, thanks to his family connections and the fact that his father was rich and chairman of American Motors. While it is true that he used the inheritance that George left him to start a "George Romney School of [something]" at Brigham Young University, he was already a very wealthy man thanks to those family connections.

So, spare us the talking point about "he gave all his money away"...No...He didn't. (That line appears to be from a Jeff Foxworthy speech somewhere...)

So.

He could have just sat back and follow the Grateful Dead like some trustafarians, instead he took his talents and seed money to generate real wealth, and succeeded in different public and private occupations.

Not at all. It takes a special kind of man to give up the family wealth and donate it to educate others.

I didn't see JFK or FDR do this. They kept living off the family trust and became politicians because they were already used to spending money other people made for them. :thumbsup:

Where are you getting the idea he is not a millionaire worth $200 million? You don't honestly believe he gave it all away, do you?

He gave away the money his dad gave him. But he does also give away much of the money he makes, more in a month than Joe Biden has given in a lifetime.

One way to pay only 14% of your income as taxes is to be very generous to others. :wink:


The Democrat Party: More concerned about how Mitt spends his own money than how Obama wastes eveyone else's money. :Whistle
