I think Newt was just saying that to point out how out of touch Romney is with the everyday realities most people live in—that’s how I interpreted it anyway.
It’s a fair point.
I prefer Newt over Romney but he’s got to quit this populist, eat-the-rich attitude he’s picked up.
Too many wealthy people are not our problem. The more wealthy we have, the better. There is no shame in being economically successful. Rather, it tends to indicate a person is smart, on the ball, and frugal.
The sad fact is, that in Today’s America, a very large number of Sheeple will do EXACTLY what the Magic Talking Box they spend hours staring at tells them to do.
If it tells them to buy Coke over Pepsi, they buy coke.
If it tells them to buy the latest book Oprah pimps, they buy the book.
If it tells them they should HATE someone, they hate that person.
Remember how it was that Obama defeated the media hero Hillary in the first place?
