You know, I haven't worked outside the home for decades but to say I or Ann Romney haven't done any real work is a gross misunderstanding of what a homemaker and mother is. And one thing about the Romneys...I bet they didn't stress the system by using government money since they had enough of their own.
Of course, I suppose that whole breast cancer thing was just a breeze. It really pisses me off that the go after her for doing dressage for therapy. Horseback riding is known for helping people with many health problems. And there are plenty of families who have their children in dressage who are far from rich. They do it because their children have a passion for it (much like my son who we invested a small fortune in playing soccer only to have him turn down a scholarship and join the Marine Corps. That kid is DEFINITELY taking care of me when I'm old and senile).
If one of my kids had MS and dressage would help them, I'd scrimp and save and do whatever I needed to to make sure they got it. All over the world, regardless of the kind of government they have, there are poor people and rich people. I've never seen people as obsessed with other people's money as the DUmmies. Maybe if they'd stop whining and either start working hard and saving and sacrificing they might actually become one of those people making more than $250,000 or even in the 1%.
Or, they could simply learn to be content with where they are and realize the best things in life have nothing to do with income. Betcha even the one percenters would tell you that.
