Who the Wealthy Are

If you have been watching the primary circus, perhaps you have also scoffed at the huffing and puffing over Romney being a rich guy.  Maybe that stuff will work on somebody out there but not on any ordinary folks. 

Romney is successful;  he’s exceptional, he’s part of the 1%;  this is all good.  Does anybody really want one of us to be President?  Would you vote for one of the girls at work?  The barber or plumber maybe?  How about your brother-in-law?  Please.

But I digress.  I saw this today about the folks that Obama wants to tax – those families that earn $200 grand or more.  Really rich guys are not our problem although their kids might well be.

Rethinking Paths to Wealth

I think we should remember who it really is that the anti-capitalists work against.  Let’s remember who it actually is that creates the jobs and pays the bills.  Folks like President Obama have never had a job and some of them have no ordinary real life experience.

At the same time, I think Warren Buffet is right about a lot of things and one of them is not passing real wealth on to the children.
