Well, it appears both the rich and the poor have one thing (who knew?) in common - "Mitts" Romney doesn't need either of them. He feels he's better off in the solid Middle - class, that is, And now we know what the Republicans really consider class warfare to be - anything they say it is, and nothing the rest of the country says it is. No surprise, really, but kind of sad. Think about it - those poor rich being thrown under the bus like that. I mean, right along with those poor poor, er, saps. Having to share the gutter with the hoi polloi poor is going to play hell on their social standings, not to mention soiling their portfolios. Tsk.
So it appears that Mitt may come to be known as the "Great Un-unifier." Simply dividing a party is child's play - Newt was making real progress on that himself. But Mitt, well, he's a "different" kind of leader, one who wears long-johns and swills 7-Up while bragging about his capitalist track record. I don't really know why everyone is so surprised by the slow leakage of Mitt's true nature into public view. He did, after all, lead Bain Capital.
It's just that at the time, no one knew he might one day be the actual bane of many people's very existences. Rich and poor alike. Kind of heartwarming, isn't it? Helping disparate peoples find common cause, I mean. How egalitarian of him! I wonder what he will do once he gets his mitts on the rest of the country?
I'd be more than a little worried, Middle Class. He may decide it's simply more profitable to outsource the entire middle class population - cheaper, easier to control, and they can't bother the rest of the 1% with pesky stuff like voting, or protesting.
Of course, he's gonna have to solve that one teeny little problem - where will he get replacement consumers to fund his Utopian visions?
