Romney thumbs his nose at sniveling non-millionaires: You're just jealous.

(17,621 posts)Those off us who "resent" the rich are not merely "jealous." Many feel that the rich got that way, for the most part, by breaking the law and/or exploiting the rest of us. That's what we resent.

You are a corporate pig plain and simple.

Recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Written by John Fogerty
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

(15,953 posts)Make no mistake about it. We are not jealous of you. You were born rich and you made yourself richer at the expense of the rest of us. You destroyed the lives and sold the livelyhoods of millions of American people. In the process you damaged our country perhaps irreparably. What we feel for you isn't jealously Mitt. WE HATE YOU!
In another time Mitt you wouldn't be running for President. You would be running for your life and the people chasing you would be carrying hot tar and feathers.
