Your post says he was hired as a VP. Big deal. You can go to the SEC website. He didn't make big money until much later. I'm sure he was earning a fair salary in 1980. He wasn't really wealthy until much later.
You're not working as a VP for minimum wage. My DH was once called a VP and he was certainly making a professional salary, enough so that I, with two small children did not have to work outside the home. We weren't rolling in it, but we weren't poor either. We had good health insurance. We had two cars.
People tend to travel in circles of their own economic level. I don't think the Romney's were the ones everyone pitied because he would not get Ann a housekeeper, nurseryman, driver, nanny, maid, etc, while everyone else in their economic bracket had staff.
Come on, they had five houses. Do people here think the woman opened all of these houses herself, and took care of them? Do you know how much dust is accumulated in all of these houses, even if they are kept vacant for most of the year? And how tall the grass would be if left untended?
They had people 'doing' for them, probably all along because even in the beginning they had investment income on top of salaries.
Exactly But yet there are people on this forum that think the romneys live just like them. The republican spin doctors found a leak and exploited it and the weak-kneed dumbocrats fell for it and threw Ms Rosen under the bus for basically speaking the truth

But it does it state how much wealth that both of their families had either. One more thing, how many people become VP of large companies in a year and not make/have money? Just curious
Did it bother you when Obama said "We are the ones we've been waiting for!"?
I nearly spit up my dinner when I heard it but apparently this was just the kind of conceit the nation craved.
Yes, "we" meaning a collective "we" - he was not referring to just himself or just himself and Michelle. He was referring to himself and his supporters and all of us who want something better for this country.
"It's our turn" means nothing more than a couple of rich, spoiled kids who think they are "owed" the White House - because it's their "turn."

Oh, give me a break! I said we weren't living on minimum wage. That company failed, eventually.
So he was a VP and wealthy but you guys weren't. I see a contradiction. Stop while you can.
Romney is rich. He didn't get filthy rich until much later. The timing is central to the debate. During the '70's, while she was raising those babies, it wasn't all nannies and housekeepers.

I didn't say either of us (DH and I OR the Romneys) were wealthy. I said we weren't poor. DH was making a "professional" salary. We owned a home. The Romenys weren't poor either. They weren't filthy rich at that point, but they could certainly have afforded a nanny or a housekeeper. We had a cleaning lady 1X a week at that point in time.

It is kind of hard to believe that a ex-govenor's son who has been fed a silver spoon for most of his life all of the sudden is'nt? And then in a short period of time becomes a multi-millionaire? Really????
