And just think! He could have started his career in public service in 1966.
To: Mitt Romney
Bloomfield Hills, MI
Greetings: You are hereby ordered for induction into the Armed Forces of the United States.
(It would have been signed by his local draft board. Public service without the bother of having to run for President.)
And the money thing? He could have made a zillion greenbacks and it wouldn't matter to the tax coffers. Romney would have added it to the trust he created for his sons so they wouldn't have to pay tax.
BTW: That means if he becomes President he spends YOUR tax money. But his own sons, who will probably all move into the White House, still won't be paying taxes on all those bucks they get from Daddy's trust fund. Pretty sweet deal. Think you could get that for your family? Or are you the guy working every day and paying your fair share of taxes while Mitt's sons have themselves one sweeeeeet deal?
Whoo-eeee! Public service AND five sons who don't pay taxes on their $100 million trust fund. Mercy! Where do we all sign up to be fat-cat Republicans?
So you're saying a trust fund - comprised of monies already taxed - need to be double taxed? How cavalier you are....with someone else's money.
Guess the debate and the ensuing polls are really panicking the liberals, eh?It then tries to dream up reasons why Romney shouldn't be richer. It doesn't credit any of them for being true. But one of the reasons pretty much explains it all -- the private equity market took off, and entered a "Golden Age," the year after Romney left Bain.
That pretty much ends the matter, doesn't it? The first billion is the hardest, and Bain only made its first billion right around the time Romney left. After that, Bain racked up the billions; but the first one was the tough one.
And then Romney left to pursue a career of public service.
But the writer is unconvinced.
Leaving us with two possibilities-- either Romney is lying about his wealth, or Romney is stupid and cannot be our President.

Okay. Here below is a copy & past of the verbatim quotes from your blog link. I checked them against the blog link, and it's a pretty sizable QUOTE:
Guess the debate and the ensuing polls are really panicking the liberals, eh?
Quote:
Mitt Romney is worth $250 million. Why so little?
Mitt Romney is indisputably a very rich man. And if he is elected president on Nov. 6, he will become one of the wealthiest people ever to hold the office.
But exactly how wealthy is Romney? The figure that gets tossed around is $250 million in net worth — meaning the total value of his assets, financial and others, minus any debts.
Mitt Romney's $250 million net worth is much smaller than that of the other big players in the private-equity and leveraged buyout business, as listed in the latest Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America.
Only $250 million? Really?
It’s a big number, but frankly, it seems low. Given the industry in which he made his fortune (private equity), the era when he made it (the 1980s and 1990s) and the wealth of his peers in that business (mostly billionaires), Romney should be worth a good bit more than that.
Why isn’t he?

Quote:
Does it really matter if Romney is worth $250 million, $1 billion or more? Rich is rich after all, right? I think it does, politically as well as substantively.
Politically, the alternatives are not great. If he were perceived as the first real billionaire to run for president, it would only exacerbate popular doubts about how someone living so removed from the concerns of average Americans — or even just 47 percent of them — could effectively represent them.
And if he is not a billionaire, doesn’t it suggest that he was not a great private-equity investor after all, thus torpedoing his claim to understand how to create jobs and get the economy back on track?
Something to keep in mind on Nov. 6."

The way Romney acts, I'd expect him to be a billionaire, didn't he suggest that 300,000 is pocket change.
