The extent of Romney's continuing relationship with Boston-based Bain Capital Partners, which has also supplied him with scores of savvy fundraisers and well-heeled donors, was detailed in a financial disclosure report filed yesterday with the Office of Government Ethics. The report revealed the holdings of Romney's blind trust and provided the most complete accounting of his wealth, estimated at between $190 million and $250 million. washingtonpost.com - nation, world, technology and Washington area news and headlines
Just another rich, white dude. IOW, probably a waste of time. | He wasn't handed down this wealth much like other candidates...He is a very bright individual who has conquered the American dream by succeeding in life. We need someone like Romney in the whitehouse for good advice as to how to pay off or reduce the debt. Romney is good with money, so what's the problem here??
Ohh...Rich people are BAD people, right??
Those who inherited wealth and had nothing really much to do with acquiring wealth...sure. But those who have worked hard, who are smart, and earned wealth on their own, are absolutely brilliant in my mind. |
