I use the phrase 1% because to me it represents those individual so removed from my world that continung in power whether Democrat or Republican will be to further their self interests first and foremost. Instead of the 1% put names to it. A big supporter of Romney Goldman Sach (1%) Too big to fail but small enough to render multiple million dollar bonuses speaks volumes.

A poster pushed the "he followed the rules and became rich...." I said in my original post that I didn't care how much money Romney made or how much tax he paid. I am interested as to whether both were done honestly. There are legal and legitimate questions just on the $20million where romney paid 13.9% take under carried interest is questionable because such incomehad to derive from services rendered to Bain. But Romney left Bain in 1999. so how many question remain with the remainder of his wealth.
