Romney's wealth is the product of his own hard work... The only thing his parents gave him was a good education and upbringing.
LOL
Newsflash: If anybody could do what Romney did, everybody would do it.
Yes, that's the point. Everyone can not do what Romney did, because everyone does not have a wealthy CEO/governor father who sends them to elite prep schools and finances their education at Harvard.
There are plenty of other people in the same industry as Romney (i.e., management consulting) who do not come from such a privileged background. Furthermore, a privileged background only gets your foot in the door. It takes smarts and hard work to make something of yourself. Nobody gives it to you; you gotta earn it.
The privilege network is not as much about money itself but that 'foot in the door', the connections with the right people because of your background are just as important as the millions in cash. I have to say asserting that Romney basically entered life on the same level as others is a joke and even more, an insult to Americans that have to strain to get out of poverty or adverse family situations.
