How can Romney have any clue what the average American has to deal with? He's a 1 %'r

Re: How can Romney have any clue what the average American has to deal with? He's a 1

specifically how they think Romney could even understand the average American. Thanks in advance!

FWIW, I tend to think that anyone that believes ANY politician comes anywhere near understanding the average American, is way off base.

Politicians are on a planet of their own. They don't know anything about the normal struggles and day to day life of REAL Americans....

I don't know if you can make that stereotype work. John Boehner for example comes from a large poor family and he made it big through hardwork, some luck and ambition

Same with Steve Chabot

come to think of it you have a point. Many Americans don't have any clue about that sort of drive-sadly enough. that's why we have so many wanting to suck on the public teat and demand others supply the milk

The whole "1%er" garbage is getting old. He's wealthy, what of it? Obama is wealthy too.

I only have a few quarrels with Romney. He's back by every fat cat bank, supports tarp (those two alone coincide), won't go after the fed, double up on our military budget (war is probably inevitable), won't change social policies like medical marijuana, and will probably continue laws like the patriot act/if not expand it. I dunno how he'll balance the budget if he is doubling up the military budget...i guess by cutting social programs. Who knows...

As far as I'm concerned Romney is a slimy politician and Obama is a murderer as well as an accomplish to murder.

i would love to see some proof bud.

To answer your question in a single word...no.

I'm more in tune with other themes of the story...that is, resistance to overarching governmental and societal control. I would like to see interpersonal contracts to become more the norm. I think the U.S. had that long ago, but we've gotten away from it in favor of government control. I also support tolerance of alternate lifestyles that don't directly impact others. For example: I would love to see alternate familial structures, such as line marriages, become commonplace.

Fair enough- though I'm curious when you think American society was EVER really like that. I'm a history student specializing in urban history, so that coincides with a lot of studying I've been doing.

The term "1%r" used in the title pretty much suggests the stupidity of the OP
