Mitt Romney says income inequality is all about envy. He's wrong. Income inequality is an issue in this country because those on the bottom never really have the opportunity to make it to the top. I have no problem with fair capitalism. I don't care when someone gets wealthy. I'm not lashing out against anyone for their success. I do lash out against Mitt Romney because he is a greedy man.
If everyone in this country had an equal opportunity to either make it or not, then maybe income inequality wouldn't be such an issue. Instead, if you are born poor, you are pretty likely to stay poor. The poor grow up and go to substandard schools, and often can't afford the things they need in life to succeed.
The rich on the other hand have every door opened to them. They attend better schools because they have money. If they need extra help in school, they buy the best tutor money can buy. They go to the best colleges. Mommy and daddy buy them everything they need to succeed.
Mitt Romney doesn't know what it's like to make it day to day and worry about money. He's always been rich. He hasn't had to worry about losing his job. He hasn't had to worry about paying a bill. Mitt Romney doesn't even know what it's like to be middle class.
I don't envy Mitt Romney. If I were Mitt, I couldn't sleep at night in one of my many mansions because my conscience would be bothering me. You see, Mitt "creatively destroyed" so many companies and fired everyone so he could make himself and his rich friends billions of dollars. How does a man sleep at night knowing he made someone lose everything just so he could turn his fortune into an even larger fortune?
Mitt Romney will likely destroy what is left of the middle class if he gets elected. I fear this will be a close election that could go either way. Mitt Romney did enough damage in the private sector, we can't afford to have him in The White House.
