One of the more current events in this election cycle is the amount of money Mitt Romney makes, the amount of taxes he pays, and the amount he is worth. This is being pushed by the media as a negative to Romney, and I find it parroted by people who apparently have difficulty producing anything resembling an original thought. Here's one for you: name me the last presidential candidate that had a gross income of $30k or less (in today's dollars), and STILL became President. That's right: the office of the President is deemed for the wealthy; the, dare I say, "evil one percenters". So, Romney's wealth is NOT news. If he DID make only $30k/yr, THAT would be news. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.
