32. "The only way not to think about money is to have a great deal of it." -Edith Wharton

The Romneys keep making weird ridiculous comments about the issue of their wealth.

The problem is they are trying to justify their unimaginable personal wealth, something there is really no justification for.
So they have to get really creative and it ends up sounding just dumb.
