No, he donated the EQUIVALENT of his inheritance 30 years after he got it. You'll notice he sure as hell invested and made a lot of money off of that inheritance. How do you think he got the money to start bain capital in the 1980's so soon after he graduated?
By working at Bain for 8 years, advancing to the position of VP, and by being really good at what he did and working hard.
I don't see him saying anyhtig but like in context of the speech likely just passig on the blkessing and joys he has gotten from having children.I'd be more wrroied about him if he said don't have children ;go otu an earn alot of money i life because that was more rewqarding to me in the end.Anyone who can listen to a perosn express what he has done and experinced without feelig nsome anger towards that perosn :alreayd has problems if you ask me. I know when Obama has talked about his family and children i his life such as his book :i do not doubt his feeligns as a recommendation that its real and a good thing.

And you think that Joe Schmo for Hoboken, graduate of City University, could have secured a position at Bain, and advanced to the position of VP after a few years, and then had the capital to start Bain Capital? Because it's not like money and connections could have played any role, at all?
Again, that's how these things works. Who you know, and your own personal wealth ARE advantages. If Mr Romney hadn't used those advantages to advance his career, he would have been stupid. And he's not a stupid man. He just didn't start at the ground level. He started at the corner office level. And he can empathize with the guy who started at the ground level, but he really doesn't know what it's like. He's worked hard, and he's worked long hours, and he seems like a very decent guy. But the choices that have been available to him are not the choices available to Joe Schmo. And there is a large chasm between those two sets of choices, where one set of choices means always having options, and the other set of choices means rarely having options. It's the reason why wealth is liberating. Poverty means not having options. And when you've never not had options, it's very hard to understand what that means.
No, but I don't believe ones wealth automatically prevents them from doing so either.
At what dollar amount can you no longer empathise? 1,000 or 100,000 or 10,000,000.
I don't think it's a matter of Mitt "no longer empathizing," but rather Mitt has never empathized, because he has never lived the life of an ordinary American. He hasn't a clue...
Romney stays true to his beliefs, so he deserves respect for that though I don't agree with most of what he preaches. After all, he's a leader of the LDS, and LDS is probably considered a cult by most Americans. He knew his audience and he said to them things they, too, believe in.

He is devoutly Mormon. I don't think a devoutly any religion should POTUS, hence my OP.
Perhaps Mitt could. Instead of advocating for 'quiverful'. Good Lord. Let me repeat it - so GLAD Mitt lost the election.
Did Mitt actually say Don't pay your loans?
Most Mormons I've know would not have advised this.
