The question is Romney the Man he's portrait to be? He did not become a millionaire he was born a millionaire!! I believe Japan holds alot of our debt.(China and Japan don't get along at all)could get ugly!! Pete

But you seem to be holding it against him that he inherited wealth. Is Romney the only guy out there who inherited wealth and leveraged that into more success in the business world? I think not! At least he wasn't some Trust Fund Baby who ran around the playboy circuit, squandering his money on who knows what. So the guy got a good grubstake from his family who were successful before him? Why does that matter a whit? Like Shine said well, to vote against a man because he's successful is ridiculous, IMO, and you seem to agree on that point.

I do think that we need to remember as we post anywhere in this forum that we do have the occasional grandson/granddaughter/niece/nephew that may wander in while visiting, and we need to be careful that we don't let the passions of our "discussions" drive the language we use, or the statements we make. We used to say "Keep it PG13", but after the language in some of the recent PG13 movies I'm not sure that's right!! In short, just like in every other post we need to watch our language and tone, and consider that ladies and children may be reading what we write. Just my $0.02.
