Given that the OP started out with a lie, what is the point in responding?
The Obama campaign is trying to get the voters to have a problem with Romney having tons of money.
They are trying to assert that because Romney is rich, he's a bad candidate for President... there have even been attacks on his wife... too rich to be a good person.
Don't tell me that the Libs haven't been saying this.
Do you people really think this way? I think anyone who graduated elementary school would show a greater understanding of the world around them.
I'm a liberal-- I do fairly well myself. I own a company and live in one of the most expensive states in the nation-- a state that votes Democrat I might add. I know a few ultra-wealthy people and don't hate any of them. It's a red herring designed to get the Fox News, RushGlenn, easily-manipulated crowd going.
I don't, however, think our society should be build around the needs of the rich and wealthy. They can take care of themselves. I am much more concerned with the middle class losing it's buying power, college graduates just starting out under a mountain of debt and the poor who's children go to substandard schools that seem to be losing ground yearly.
Why do the wealthy get to pay a lower percentage of tax on their income than I do?
Those are my issues. Far from hate. But then again, I live in reality.
ALL Democrats can pay more than they owe at tax time.

Again, you continue to lie. If you were interested in having a real discussion you would start with a little bit of honesty, but that is clearly beyond you.

For some reason this doesn't seem to happen.
This stupidity again? Taxation systems are involuntary-- you are compelled to pay taxes by legal authority. As you know, no one is going to voluntarily pay more taxes... and I am actually fighting for (many eternally stupid) people to pay LESS-- By having the wealthy pay their fair share.
Why do you want to be compelled by legal authority to pay MORE taxes so rich people can pay less? That's the real question... and the real shame of this. You'd argue to you're blue in the face in favor of some perceive ideology-- and against your interests.
Again, you continue to lie. If you were interested in having a real discussion you would start with a little bit of honesty, but that is clearly beyond you.
Obama didn't name Romney. He didn't need to. The president and his campaign have worked to make the former Massachusetts governor and millionaire investor's personal finances an issue in the election even as they hammer his economic proposals as giveaways to the rich financed by cutting services to everyone else—like financial aid for college students.
"Somebody gave me an education. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Michelle wasn't. But somebody gave us a chance," Obama said in a speech at Lorain County Community College in Elyria, Ohio. "Right now we have two competing visions of our future, and the choice could not be clearer," said the president. "Should we settle for an economy where a few people do really well and then a growing number are struggling to get by?"
You don't think that Obama is trying to say that Romney's wealth makes him a bad candidate?
