Do you think Einstein was middle class because he couldn't make more money? any mor emoney than he needed was the furthest thing from his mind. He was busy trying to understand the universe, the mind of god. Many world class academics could make many times what they are making if they worked for a large corporation. That idea never crosses their mind. I make my living in my town doing deals. Sometimes big deals. The richest people in my town are not the wisest, they are the most driven to make money. Anyway they can and I live in the back rooms of those deals. Too many of them, read too few books to. I have seen the academics and the rich wheeler dealers. I know who is the wisest.

Just remember what Elizabeth Warren said: "No one got rich by himself/herself". Romney did not get rich by himself. His business uses road built by taxpayers. His security is provided by taxpayers. His employees are educated by all of us. Now, Romney does not want to pay his fair share for the benefits that he got. His tax rate is less than the average middle class. Granted he gave 10% to the Mormon church, which is mandatory, and some money to charity of his choice. But that money does not go to repair bridges, that money does not go to the military who defends the country. That money he gave to charity does not go to education, police, library etc. etc. Vpte for Romney? No way. As a Republican, I can only vote for Huntsman, however since he has dropped from the race, the best there is in November is Obama. Well, my state is blue anyway, so that the current POTUS will win in my state. Bear with me. Yeah, that's right, Bear is the symbol.
