Illegal immigration is nothing more than job theft by criminals who don't have to play by the same rules as citizens.
Moreover, the anecdotal examples of two people do not represent the whole.

He is correct and I'll take it further than he did.

"Income Inequality" is doublespeak for "Redistribution of wealth."
It's as lame as the cliche "Global Warming."
Both have big, fat and UnAmerican agendas tied to them.

If he's that "out of touch" as a candidate, how can we expect the man to represent "ALL" the people if he wins the election?

mitt romney is absolutely right. income inequality talk is in fact envy. as i have stated many times in the past, the rich continue to make money because they continue to do the things that make them rich, namely;

work long hours
invest their money in the things that will make them money
take bold financial steps and actually put their money on the line

the poor on the other hand continue to do the things that keep them poor, namely;

spend money on things like big screen TVs
work the minimum number of hours per week to get full time benefits
fail to save money
and they dont take any risks

Bush & Obama prove that we need to be away from electing presidents based on being able to relate to the average person out there. It isn't working. It's time to seriously consider the leadership abilities and credentials of the candidates out there. Romney is by far the most accomplished candidate that we've had since Clinton.

I don't know. I'm a moderate R and a small business owner. I pay taxes out the nose. If he's saying this stuff about "envy", and then it turns out that he has a bunch of money stashed away off shore that he hasn't paid a dime of taxes on...we're going to have a problem.

Steve Jobs or Ron Paul's well paid profession might be envy . Wealth from the rigged cronyism of Wall Street; fractional reserve fueled ponzi schemes; and if all else fails, trillion dollar bailouts is about disgust.
