I believe their wealth came merely from connections, not from some stunning brilliance on the part of Mitt as he ran Bain Capital. I just don't see him as either a smart thinker or a sharp businessman.
I had no opinion about Ann Romney - until she started speaking up recently. And I find her just as dim witted as he is. What an assinine comment for her to make, even behind closed doors. War on moms, my ass - she seems to not realize that no one finds her attempts to identify with the struggles of the other 99% plausible in any way, because of the mass of money that stands between how she lives and how the rest of us live.
When you have that kind of wealth, you don't really have a meaningful or life/death kind of budget issue to struggle with - ever. You can make choices based on nothing more than desire, not need. This certainly isn't a war on moms, but Ann might manage to make it a war on the wealthy if she keeps sticking her foot further into her mouth on any issue where her extreme wealth clouds her judgment. Which would be pretty much every issue that a human can encounter.
