Mitt Romney claims he made through college with hardwork like low income people. but a 1994 interview with his wife Ann Romney claims that Mitt Romney sold stock that his father gave him to make it through college.
Mitt Romney is going around saying that he made all his money himself, aside from a loan from his dad to buy his first house.
Journalists who buy that have short memories. I was living in Massachusetts when Romney first ran for the Senate, and remembered this interview with Ann Romney in the Boston Globe (by Jack Thomas, October 20, 1994; the abstract is here; the full text costs $4.95). Of her student days with Mitt at BYU, Ann said:
“They were not easy years. You have to understand, I was raised in a lovely neighborhood, as was Mitt, and at BYU, we moved into a $62-a-month basement apartment with a cement floor and lived there two years as students with no income.
“It was tiny. And I didn’t have money to carpet the floor. But you can get remnants, samples, so I glued them together, all different colors. It looked awful, but it was carpeting.
“We were happy, studying hard. Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time.
“The stock came from Mitt’s father. When he took over American Motors, the stock was worth nothing. But he invested Mitt’s birthday money year to year — it wasn’t much, a few thousand, but he put it into American Motors because he believed in himself. Five years later, stock that had been $6 a share was $96 and Mitt cashed it so we could live and pay for education.
“Mitt and I walked to class together, shared housekeeping, had a lot of pasta and tuna fish and learned hard lessons.
yeah so he justifies cuting financial aid for poor kids,by claiming he got through college by himself but he was lying.
He has never said he made it through college with no help at all. If he sold stock that was his though, he used his own money actually. What he has said is that the money he has, he earned it, and he did. He was not given it in a trust fund or through inheritance.

of course he got some help from daddy, but what he is saying is: the money he inherited he gave to charity, are you going to tell us this isn't true? Cutting aid for many things is often needed or do you just think there will always be a never ending supply of money?

no he sold stock his father bought for him as a birthday gift, but he wants to hurt low income kids who dnt have rich fathers.
but he wants to expand the navy fleet even though its 5 times bigger than any other countries.

He doesn't want to hurt low income kids in any way. I would imagine cuts can be made for days on totally unnecessary programs without ever cutting anything for low income kids.
