Romney is worth an estimated $264 million dollars, according to disclosure documents filed with the Federal Election Commission earlier this month. The Romney's recently sold their $3.5 million home in Massachusetts and got more than $5 million for a ski resort home near Park City, UT. They still have a townhouse outside of Boston and another vacation home in New Hampshire.
I don't have anything against a person being wealthy. I wish I were wealthy. I wonder why someone with all that money would want the headache of being president. I would want to enjoy spending all that money.
It just seems odd to me he would flaunt his riches now by spending millions on a vacation home rebuild when he is running for president. It sure doesn't make him seem like a typical guy that would understand the problems most Americans face. Been out of work for 2 years... that's nothing. Mitt has to suffer the squalor of a tiny $12 million vacation home.
This is a man that recently stated that corporations are people. He wants to cut taxes, cut spending, and reform entitlement programs. Of course, he doesn't provide any specifics about what he would cut or how he would reform entitlements. However, this is a man that couldn't even win against John McCain. I don't think he'll win again.
