No wonder Romney can have empathy with Jack Nicklaus, now how much of that wealth (as it was with Romney) is going to pass to Jack's kids (almost 40 years-old to in their 50's) and grandkids?...
I'm thinking they were talking about the burden of debt we're all passing down to our kids and grandkids, regardless of our individual financial standing, because we only care about the here and now and getting our little entitlements.

Why do we need a tax writeoff for mortgage interest to begin with?

Cananda doesn't have one, and the percentage of folks up ther who own homes has been even or higher than ours for decades.

The Obama Presidency has been an uniterrupted string of gaffes since the day he was sworn in, and he's still doing them.

Jack Nicklaus has an estimated net worth higher than Romney. How do two individuals with close to a half-billion dollars of net worth combined equate that they are worried about the financial position of their children and grandchildren compared to us? The "caring" and "heart aching" for us American non-multimillionaires?

Again, I believe they're talking about the burden of debt that is being handed down to all of our children and grandchildren, and the nation they will inherit and live in. They will have to solve the problems we are unwilling to deal with or fix in the here and now. As for those rich kids, considering the way the system is run (by liberals and conservatives alike), they very likely could be our leaders in the future. So yeah, I do feel sorry for them if they end up in that position.
Yes, I have no doubt that individuals in the Romney and Nicklaus families will be fine financially speaking.

Mitt did say something to that effect too, that the rich will still do fine if Obama is re-elected...
