Romney's biggest mistake was not selling the message that it's good to be rich and you too, can be rich as well and I'm going to help you do it through policy. Why would anybody want to be poor?

Americans may envy the rich but most don't hate the rich. They want a shot at being rich.

That's what this country is all about.

I reminded myself many times during the campaign of the
Commandment “ Thou shalt not Covet” and gave thanks that
Trump was moved to run for our country.

Sort of off track here, but... Wasn't it Bono (of U2 fame) who said, the difference between Ireland and America was, in Ireland people look at a rich man's mansion and say "I want to take that away from him", but in America they say "I want to have that for myself someday."

I always understood this to mean Ireland = Europe = class envy = socialism.
