Mitt Romney's fortune is his own I will not argue that, however it being a nonfactor in this coming election is something that I will argue. He has money, and always has, in a time when most Americans cannot say they do. A few short months ago we had sit ins across the US fighting for a change in the 1% so why would we want one of them to be our nations leader? Yes whoever is president has money and power, but there is a mindset and a lifestyle to being a 1% and Romney is it.
One of the things Paul says about his wealth is "perhaps it’s entirely irrelevant". Yet I fail to see how his wealth could be irrelevant. If he wins presidency yes it doesn't matter, or maybe looking at him as a person it doesn't but in the election itself it will because off all those protests and all of the change people are wanting for our society and government. As it stands even people who aren't very political known of the sit down protests and they know that Romney is a fat cat. Putting two and two together is not very hard even if you are not very good at math, and in this scenario, not saying he is or isn't, Romney looks like a giant government fueled two.
