Romney's being "out of touch"

[All Along The Watchtower]

"Successful." If what Bain Capital and similar firms do are considered "success stories" for capitalism, then I shudder to think what a "failure" of capitalism would be.

Naso, Romney is not out of touch because he's super-rich (though that certainly doesn't help matters), or because he came from an elite childhood background (though that doesn't help either). It's because he claims to be a "Man of the People" and yet is a plutocrat who cares more about his own profits and that of others in his class, than he does about public service.

He wants to be President so much, yet he has lived a life that is so unusually privileged and insulated from the "Real World" that it is frankly, impossible for him to connect with "ordinary" people. He wants to be President so much, yet his policies would by any objective measure be disastrous for an already damaged country. And he knows this, and doesn't care.
