They live in a bubble with other spoiled people.

It really isn't because they are rich, there are many rich people who are not like them.

What the hell are you talking about, Mittens, you asshole?

If that statement we even remotely true, the poverty rate in this country would be almost nonexistent.

I despise Romney for so many reasons, but that attitude is at the top.

3. Just the fact that he claims to have built his success from nothing shows...

...the depth of his ignorance.

Rmoney is completely unaware of the advantages he's had because of his family's money and power, which gave him a stable and luxurious home, great clothes, plenty of nutritional food, excellent healthcare, first-rate schooling, a million dollars worth of stock, and lots of connections.

Doors are always open to him. Look at George W....on his own, he'd have been working in a car wash, while on parole.

5. It's just a clever way of claiming that *he* is responsible for his success relative to other Americ

He's basically saying that his parents' wealth and connections only gave him a 5% advantage over other Americans! Amazing.

Let alone the fact that he always assumes money is the measure of success, or that it doesn't matter how you make your money as long as you make it. Does he not realize there are millions of Americans who choose not to play that game?

This is a man in serious denial.
