Mitt Romney is paranoid.
Since at least 2007, President Obama has been encouraging voters to seek a higher education by reminding voters that he (Obama) was not born with a Silver Spoon in his mouth - yet - because of government funding education, he was able to go to college and become President.
However, Mitt Romney is so paranoid and narcissistic that when President Obama uses his own story of: not being born with a Silver Spoon in his mouth, working hard, government student loans, being on food stamps as a child enabled him to become a member of the Top1%, Romney thinks President Obama is talking about bad about him (Mitt).
Does Mitt Romney have a Silver Spoon mentality?
The term, Silver Spoon, by definition means being born into wealth. Never has the term "Silver Spoon" meant that the person born into wealth is unable to empathize with the plight of the working poor, working middle class, and destitute. But, some people born with a Silver Spoon in their mouths do not empathize with the plight of those least among us. People with a Silver Spoon mentality feel "entitled" to getting whatever they want and screw everyone else.
Short example of a person with a Silver Spoon mentality:
- They might say, "I like firing people who do services for me."
- They might say things like, "I'm not concerned about the very poor."
- They might say getting $350,000.00 in speaking fees is "not very much money."
- They might insult people, to their faces, who are wearing inexpensive rain gear.
- They might think because they are worth $150 Million Dollars they are "unemployed" because their earnings are not from income.
- They might think paying 13% Taxes on $150 Million Dollar earnings helps maintain their country's "Exceptionalism."
- They might think using the Free Market against "the People" by destroying American Families via shipping their jobs overseas is a humane way, right way, and good way to personally profit millions.
- They might confuse people as Corporations, and Corporations as people.
- They might think it's ok to insult people who just gave you a tray of cookies.
- They might think Tax Cuts for the Top 1% while trying to pay off a Debt on Two Wars is a good-thing
- They may think Tax Cuts for the Top 1% while increasing taxes on the working poor, cutting food stamps and cutting education funding is a good thing.
- They might put their money in a Swiss Bank to avoid paying US Taxes which pay for things like: Tax Cuts, our Troops fighting in Two Wars, infrastructure used for interstate commerce, Defense Budget etc.
- They may think it's ok to continue to keep their money in the Swiss Bank even after the Swiss Bank plead guilty and was fined $3Million Dollars for Funding Iran, Libya and Cuba in acquiring weapons used to kill Americans.
- They might put their money in investments that help Iran become one of the World's Largest Oil Suppliers (ie., CNOOC)
- They may think showing 1 year of Tax Return and 1 year "estimated" Tax Return is all the voters are worthy of seeing.
- They may not have any core beliefs - yet still feel entitled to be President
The longer Mitt Romney hides his Tax Returns, the longer Middle Class voters and the working poor could reasonable conclude:
Mitt Romney feels that because he was born with a Silver Spoon in his mouth, he is entitled to be President of the United States.
So come on Mitt, prove you don't have the Silver Spoon mentality and release 12 years of Tax Returns, like your father did when he ran for President.
