"Steve Forbes DID NOT earn his money, he inherited a publishing empire from his father and the press did not make a big deal out of it because they never gave him a real shot at the nomination."
Correct.
Romney is the most successful 'self-made' candidate we've had in a long time.

Romney is the most successful 'self-made' candidate we've had in a long time. Of the "extremely wealthy" presidents we've had, nearly all inherited the bulk of their wealth. Of the truly wealthy, only two (Andrew Jackson and Herbert Hoover) could really be considered self-made.

For that reason alone, he deserves a good hard look in consideration for the nomination.
The GOP is still the party of business.
