I've been thinking about this comment a lot since. It occurs to me that the majority of our presidents have been wealthy. Not just well-to-do but genuinely wealthy. Has there been this much vitriol about a candidates wealth in the past? Although never a candidate for President, John Edwards got pretty close and made his riches as a malpractice attorney (I think), which isn't the most noble pursuit imo. -I immediately envision an ambulance chaser. Others made money from oil, peanut farming etc.
Anyways, my question is this: Is the electorate more distrustful of Mitt Romney's Wealth because of Bain? If so, is there any way he could change that? I don't think so. Also, the guy is doing himself no favors by not disclosing tax info etc. I think Romney is effectively toast come Nov. What do you think?
