How many times do people need to point out to you dense people that the Romney EARNED his millions and he didn't start out that way

By then, the couple had married and moved into a shabby, $62-a-month basement apartment, with cracked tiles in the kitchen floor.
Dane McBride, Romneys friend and former missionary companion, was also newly married and rented upstairs in the three-story brick building close to campus. He would come down with his wife for spontaneous spaghetti dinners. The men would reprise jovial songs from their missionary days. The Romneys first son, Taggart, was brought home to that apartment and stayed in a crib at the foot of their bed.
The Romneys' first son, Taggart (known as "Tagg"), was born in 1970 while they were undergraduates at BYU and living in a basement apartment. Ann subsequently gave birth to Matthew ("Matt", 1971), Joshua ("Josh", 1975), Benjamin ("Ben", 1978), and Craig (1981). Her work as a homemaker would enable her husband to pursue his career.
Romney was hired by Bain in 1977, but to a lower level position, that put him in the middle class. Hardly the silver spoon libs thing. In 1983 he started his own business, but struggled for 3 years until 1986. It was all gravy after that and what made Mitt the rich man we know today,
However, Ann Romney watched the kids while they struggled like every day middle class American. From 1970 (birth of their first child), they went from "poor" Americans living in a basement apartment to middle class and then to upper middle class, but it wasn't until 1986 that they were on the fast track! By 1986, Tagg was 16 years old, Matt was 15, Josh was 11, Ben was 8 and Craig was 5! She didn't have all the help liberals douches say she had!
They demean ALL middle class housewives, when they demean Ann Romney!!!
Not to mention look how well the Romney kids turned out! They are what you would want all your kids to turn out to be! They are all amazing kids and that can be ATTRIBUTED to the PARENTS - Ann & Mitt Romney!!! Just ask Al Gore about raising a darling!
Bless her heart. How was she able to cope with such adversity? What a struggle...
Still trying to save the Log Cabin Mitt Romney
Yes.....those who have a father who was an automotive CEO, Governor and leading Presidential candidate did it all on their own
