Heeeey, i know that line. Didn't Romney say that, "Don't hate me because i'm beaut--i mean, successful?" (and you're not!)
No, we dislike him not because he's obscenely successful but because he seems to be vulgarly greedy and to not give a crap about those who have nothing but panders to other people.

Oh, sorrry.
He's not wealthy because he's successful.

It also implies he has no desire to help them better themselves, that he writes them off. And combined with his proposed policies...those safety nets will likely be cut. . . . . .
This is the core problem right here.
A president used to be a leader.
People took care of themselves.
Now, (and for a while) it has been the role of government to "take care" of the people. Like people are too stupid to take care of themselves.
The Nanny state is expected and anticipated now.
And that's the real damned shame.

HE's successful and wealthy because he took American companies and jobs
and destroyed them for his own personal gain. Was all of it unethical, probably
not, but I am not sure how electing a corporate hit man will help America
with its problems with corporatism and oligarchy...

But the government should help create the opportunity for betterment.
It also should not "leave people to fend for themselves," especially when the system is stacked against them.
It's not about a "nanny state," even though it does exists to certain degrees.

Can you show proof?
This is more of a liberal talking point than fact.

Seeking the protection of a bankruptcy court isn't necessarily a sign of long-term business failure. Many of the Bain companies emerged from reorganization healthier, just as, for instance, General Motors did a few years ago. But while bankruptcy filings aren't a perfect measure of performance, they provide a way to assess a disparate array of target businesses that in many cases weren't required to make public financial filings.
The Journal's findings could provide fodder for both critics and supporters of Mr. Romney's presidential ambitions and of his role at Bain. Some experts, while conceding that available studies don't provide a direct comparison, said the rate at which the firms Bain invested in ran into trouble appears to be higher than experienced by some rival buyout firms during the era.

He's so out of touch with real people that he doesn't even know how insane he sounds. He has "slipped" a few times, but he isn't even aware of it. He thinks the nearly $400K he makes a year for speaking engagements is "not very much"... Source
What do we really expect? This guy's TOTALLY out of touch.
Obama's not going to have a very tough job ahead if Mitt keeps this up. All Obama will have to do is keep quiet and Mitt will bury himself!

Wow .. that was taken out of context .. which is fairly obvious.
On the topic of the countries poor , there are safety nets. What do you want? To be rich while you dont work? It wont happen.
Hell , you can get college grants to go to school while you are living on the street .. as long as you keep a certain GPA. Most of the kids i went to school with actually got 3-4 hundred dollars back for them to spend on what ever they wanted at the end of the semester of grant money that is for school.
50% of this country is considered to low of an income to pay federal taxes.
You can't ask for much more. Believe it or not , but it is your responsibility to protect your family and your house hold. Not the governments. They can only "help". The constitution doesn't differentiate between illness or not - the government does not have a responsibility to ensure your way of life as a single individual.
Of course , i would rather not have to make a big post on the whole issue. You can google the information for yourself.
If you are sick or not , it is still yours or families responsibility to ensure your life and safety. Not the governments.
