The OP based asked, what is the difference between Romney and the Clintons in regards to wealth. That's what I responded to. I don't know what Romney worries about, but I can be certain that lack of money is not among them, nor has he ever had to worry about that. Ever. That is an experience that most Americans don't share.
No one here is arguing that money doesn't buy happiness but you. Which has nothing to do with the topic.
the topic is class warfare and hypocrisy from the left and in Capitalism you need money to make money and expand . You don't become as successful business man like Romney if you are not worry about money and how to invest it. If you think its that easy every rich trust fund baby would multiply their wealth quickly by just putting it into a savings account but it doesn't work that way.
Everybody that invests in the free market from small time to big time knows that you can lose it all quickly and if you don't think business people worry about money then you don't know how the economy and investment works but then again that is the narrative you repeat from the left.
I really can't imagine Mr. or Mrs. Clinton telling a room full of college students that they should all start their own businesses by 'borrowing $20,000 from your parents'.
Actually, they lied, cheated, stole and quite possibly murdered their way into it. But I get your point.
Well, sure, according to the wingnuts and conspiracy theorists. To the normal sane people, they achieved their wealth through their own hard work. Mr. Romney, on the other hand, was spared all that hard work by being born into it, along with all the privilege it afforded and all the doors that opened to him.

If you vote for them, while objecting to Romney cause he couldnt relate to the people due to his vast wealth, you're a hypocrite..
Thats a false equivalency.
Hillary and Bill didnt grow up rich, they became rich in their adulthood. And just to be clear, no one didnt vote for Romney because he was wealthy, but because he couldnt relate( more specifically because his policies wont work).

If you can't understand the difference between someone being rich and someone not being able to relate to people you shouldn't be posting these trolls.
The real hypocrite in your little scenario is Mittens himself who demonstrated in support of both the Vietnam War and the draft that manned it yet conveniently avoided both. I don't give a rat's ass how much $$$ he does/doesn't have, I care about his utter failure to support his alleged beliefs.
The Clintons are self-made. Romney is a trust fund baby, born into wealth, with all the doors that opened for him to amass even more wealth. There is a difference when you have to actually create your own wealth as opposed to being born into it. The former can absolutely relate to the average American because that's where they came from. The latter...not so much.
The Clintons have their wealth due to their relationship with government, which is quite ironic considering the left tries to use government to make us all equal..

I'm not the one who said they wouldnt vote for someone because they are rich..
reseponse FAIL..
But good attempt at trying to justify the left voting for the wealthy, cough, hypocracy..
Hillary and Bill didnt grow up rich, they became rich in their adulthood. And just to be clear, no one didnt vote for Romney because he was wealthy, but because he couldnt relate( more specifically because his policies wont work).
They became rich by their association with government, which dispute the notion that government is there to even the playing field so the poor can succeed.
Arent you ashamed at the complete and total failure of government to stop rich evil people like the Clintons from obtaining even more wealth?
So what you are suggesting is that the Chelsea Clinton, should she ever decide to enter into politics, would be laughed at and ridiculed simply because clearly she grew up rich.

+10. Seriously. "Out of touch" does not even begin to describe it.
