Let me clarify as that came out much harsher than I intended. You, your dad and brother are most likely great people that I'm sure I could have a good time sitting down with. Being born privledged is not a bad thing (indeed it is what most people strive for), doesn't make you bad person, and certianly completely outside of your control. It's not your fault that your perents are rich. However, it does distance you from how a vast majority of the population functions. How can you (or in this particlar case, Paul Ryan) lead a people that you cannot possibly understand?

I understand what you're saying, and here's my objection. Mitt Romney knows how to make money. That's why he's rich. He may have been born into a rich family but he clearly is pretty damn good at making money on his own. I don't see why that would fail to correspond to knowing how to make OTHER people rich as well. That's the idea, right? We're not trying to keep poor people poor--ideally, everyone would be rich. I realize that a rags-to-riches story would be a little more powerful for this, but just because he didn't grow up in the world they live in doesn't mean he can't figure out how to turn it around and make it better. |

Donegal - how does Obama represent this particular background? He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth - never worked a day in his life, went to Harvard, went to Columbia. His 'work' was as a community organizer, and he certainly wasn't hurting. His mother was filthy rich. I'm curious to why it's relevant for Ryan/Romney and not relevant for Obama. It really isn't. Understanding how the economy works does not require growing up in the ghetto. |
