How rich is "not that rich", exactly?
Harry Reid was born in a shack with no plumbing, spent about 5 minutes in the private sector, and makes a Senate salary of less than $200,000.
He also has a net worth of more than $5 million dollars. The shrieking leftists seem to have a problem with Romney's wealth and the manner in which it was acquired, does anyone wonder where all Reid's money came from? Yeah, I didn't think so. How many houses does Reid own?
Then we have Nancy Pelosi, who made as much as $5 million dollars on outsourcing just last year. If you lefties want to hate on capitalism, investing, and offshoring, you really should look into Pelosi and her husband. LOTS to complain about there. How many houses does she own?
Then we have Debbie Wasserman Schultz, flaming hypocrite and compulsive liar (and therefore a model Democrat), who has money in Swiss bank Accounts and invests overseas!!! GASP!!! How many houses does she own?
Personally speaking, I couldn't possibly care less how many houses any of them own. If they are successful, good for them. Wealth is a GOOD thing, something to work towards, not something to be hated and envied.
In The Real World you don't get a shiny "participant" sticker, there are winners and losers.
The winners are out there busting their humps and getting ahead. The losers are whining and complaining.
Wealth is great, but it is not a qualification for President. It does not mean Romney is right for America as some seem to believe. Votng for someone because of their wealth is as bad as the reverse.
