Roberta M. Helming: Please remember all the Veterans who made sacrifices - some the ultimate sacrifce, so that Romney could have multiple deferments during the Vietnam War and subsequently live the American dream (that eludes many) by owning many properties and possessing great wealth - God Bless America, for I know the true meaning of wealth, as many Veterans do I'm sure. I'm talking about wealth of a non-material nature that is built on a strong foundation from within one's mind and heart. Many of us know how to live without a lot - Romney's inner foundation depends upon money and material possessions, which are very hollow. His fall would result in difficulty having to learn to live without his false sense of happiness wrapped up in the financial prosperity that is dear to his heart and clearly defines him.
Romney is not for the "little" guy, because he can't relate to them. He needs to live (for a minimum of a week) the life of those of us who struggle, so that if elected president, he knows our pain, struggles and suffering - as every day citizens.
And I'm not referring to people who just don't try to help themselves, but rather people who worked a career during a time when inflation was not so high. In this country, we have retirees who can't pay their bills and buy their medicine - it's a choice at best, because their retirement income was never enough and they haven't received a raise in a decade in some cases.
Does Romney care about that? Does he care to know about that?
