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.
I'm not questioning that Mitt has been successful by his own merits. And while he certainly deserves credit for not blowing it completely as so many children of priveledge do, he didn't exactly do it on his own.

With those kind of connections, one would really have to be a total loser not to succeed.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
