I could give a rats behind how much he has or doesn't have. Good for him for owning a house.

What I DO give a rats behind about is the "I'm just plain folks" crap these guys toss around, on both sides. No, Mr. Rubio, you're not just plain folks. You don't struggle keeping your head above water, you don't have to choose between medication and food, or food and rent. You don't have to find a bus route to work because the car broke down again and you can't afford to have it fixed.

Remember, the GOP has had many "saviors"...none of which panned out.

The clue is in your court.

Perhaps you are projecting your own concept of "stiff". There is life beyond minimum wage, you know - well, it is obvious you don't.
That means that 6 years ago your house was worth one million dollars.

Bashing Rubio with more of Obama's imaginary class wars? Leftists are right on schedule

Left begins 'Romneyfication' of rich, anti-science Sen. Marco Rubio

Did you see the stats on the house?

4 bedroom, 3-and-a-half bath pool pad: records show he and wife Jeanette bought the place for $550,000 in 2005.

The outrage!!! 4 beds, 3.5 baths, and a POOL!!!!! in the FLORIDA heat!!! what were they thinking! I bet that pool is FILLED with WATER!!! OHHHGGDDEYTYYY!!!!!

Pro-tip: The square footage must not be very impressive, since the notoriously left leaning publisher of the story conveniently left that figure out of the story. But did include that he co owns a home with another senator whom is accused of some sort of crime, because that's pertinent to the story how?

Utter nonsense. 675k is a grip PERIOD! Only a tiny sliver of Americans can afford a mortgage on that sum.

"That isn't much for a house nowadays." LMAO....please.

And you're the one ignorant of what "working class" means. Dentists and doctors and lawyers are most certainly not part of the "working class."

I gave the definition of working class in an earlier post. Apparently nobody believes a dictionary anymore.

And we care why! who in the hell cares where someone lives. I know people who live in that area, that live in mansions, your point is.

I doubt seriously Rubio grew up in this kind of area.

There are homes in that area, that cost way more then his. Problem is what. The man was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so get over it already.

People are free to live where they live. My home is worth more then his what's the point.

I have friends who consider themsmelves upper middle class, and their homes are in the $400 range.

Nor do i care where Obama lives, and there are many more questionable questions about Obama any day then Rubio.

I applaud any one who has achieved success in their life, and loathe those who make excuses.

West Miami is not a working class neighborhood. I've been to that neighborhood before, visited the Venetian Pool. It is not working class. It's not rich but certainly not working class.

Calle ocho a few miles east is working class, but that's a different neighborhood.
