How many people who are "rich" right now in the US started with nothing in their pockets? Started with nothing other then public education, paid for their own college by working a job while going to school full time? Watched their parents scrape by just to put food on the table?

So, you feel that Kim Kardashian worked hard and paid a price to achieve her social status?
I agree that there are rich people that worked hard from the bottom to the top but that is not the case with all of them.
LOL I can tell you that you would be hard pressed to find someone who detests the Kardashian clan and their pomp more than I do. I am sick to death of thier antics and of course bruce Jenners azz kissing ways...
That said.
Kim has a business and she actually devotes a great deal of time and effort into it. Even their flakey show requires a lot of effort.
Yes she got rich the old way but its not as if she isn't working to increase it.
It's not knocking him. It's simply showing the romantic notion of bootstrap Romney is not true.
There are examples of rags to riches, Romney is simply not one of them. That's all. Also, having the wealth to not have to work in college is more than not being an island. It's pretty much building future gains on massive wealth.
Most of the time, people do not change their class.
Class has nothing to do with money. I have known extremely economically disadvantaged people with a ton of class and wealthy people with no class at all. Need I say more than Britney Spears?
Romney was never a rags to riches story. He grew up in an environment of privilege, no doubt about that. However, if you are familiar with the story of John Barrymore and a gazillion other children of privilege who died alcoholics, drug abusers and penniless, it is obvious that is no guarantee of success or wealth. You have to have the drive, perseverance and motivation to succeed.
By giving away his inherited money, Mr. Romney proved to the world and himself that he had what it takes to make his own money his own way.

Mitt Romney didnt give away his daddys connections.
- Rich people tend to excercise more to stay healthier and spend less money on health care since they know that if they don't live healthy it will cost them more money.
- Rich people eat healthier to stay healthier to save cost.
- Rich people waste less money on late fees, and other fees that cost them money. Pay bills on time.
- Rich people tend to compare prices before buying items to save money.
Poor people overall don't do what is written above.
If poor people would try to do the same than they will end up with more money!
Many people do all those things and dont become rich..
Humorous piece of bs, kinda shows how vacuous and one dimensional rightwing thinking can be.
