And what shall we say of Sen. John Kerry? Or the Kennedy's?

What of the wealth that the Clinton's obtained through their dealings in various opportunities with Whitewater and the failed savings and loan?

And yet Mitt Romney's IRA is worth a little over $100 million.

Hmmm. Here's an article explaining how in theory a person could achieve a $100 million IRA. Can The Romney Camp Keep Avoiding Questions About His Enormous IRA? | TPMDC

Along with all those undisclosed tax returns, and all his offshore accounts, this question just ain't going away.

Mitt Romney. He's just a regular guy. With a $100 million IRA. And offshore bank accounts.

Romney-outsourcer-ultra rich= bad person!
Steve Jobs-outsourcer of 1/2 million jobs-mega rich- liberal hero!

Nice standards you liberals have, jpn

The McCain campaign got to see 23 years of Romney's tax returns when they were vetting him for VP, they picked Palin....

They picked Palin to TRY to snag the women's vote, although I'm sure you think is was about Romney's returns

Agreed--Rich people are treated like they have Leprosy by the left. It won't be long before the masse's will be chasing them down in the street to brand their foreheads with an S for SUCCESSFUL.

Look at the picture the OPT just used in this thread--LOL. Maybe it's ENVY or JEALOUSLY--but it appears to me it's a personal attack on someonewho has been very successful. The opt is using a picture that says--Mitt Romney should have never made that much money. He doesn't deserve it--the guy with the beard deserves some of Mitt Romney's money.

The picture ridicules ROMNEY and you post that Liberals hate rich people.
I am purposely being literal whereas you are purposely being general.

SSSS---they're not suppose to know that Democrats can be very wealthy also. John Kerry married to the Heinz heiress Teressa Heinz Kerry. Heck at least Romney made his own money--and didn't depend on marrying a very wealthy woman to get it.

No--You have man with beard standing there--with a 99% sign then Romney with a 13% sign. So an idiot would assume that this poor man is paying 99% of the tax base in this country--RIGHT? and Romney is only paying 13%. We know that's so far from the TRUTH it's not even funny. Romney would pay more in taxes at 13% in one year than this guy would in 2 lifetimes.

Romney depended on the investors who depended on his Leveraged Buy-Outs.
Romney never invested a dime of his own.

Yeah--lots of successful business'es do that--you know like BANKS. They take investors deposits and then the bank lends it out to people like you for homes and cars and you pay the bank back with interest--so that they can pay their employees and hopefully come out with some type of a profit. Fairly typical business operations in this country.

Imagine a world were people become so stupid they prefer a president with absolutely no accomplishments over a potential president who knows business and was very, very successful..........
