Full-fledged jerks, like Romney.

Mitt Romney is a jerk. And Barack Obama is a nice guy. That's really all I need to know. No way would I vote for a jerk. No matter what he stands for. Because a jerk is a jerk is a jerk. In Romney's case, he's a monetarily rich jerk. His primary motivation in life is to make money. To get so rich that he can afford elevators in his garage. So that he can lift his cars to multiple levels. It's also important for Romney to have multiple homes. Mansions. Small castles. In acquiring all this, Romney has cultivated himself as a true blue jerk. A money-grubber. He considers himself a member of the ruling elite. Privileged. He looks with disdain on people beneath him. Which means virtually anyone that isn't motivated by the accumulation of money. Romney claims to be a Mormon. But he really worships money. Far more money than anyone needs to survive. In fact, 100,000 people probably could survive decently if Romney's total wealth were redistributed. To serve the common good. I'm not saying that's what needs or should be done. But I am saying that Romney and other rich people should be taxed more. For the public benefit. Such as narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor. Another thing. I'm not saying that all rich people are jerks. I'm merely singling out Romney. Because he also has a lust for power. Primarily so he can advance the interests of other rich people. In his elite class. He couldn't care less about the middle class and poor people. He thinks of them as moochers. Deadbeats. Seekers of hand-outs. Entitlements. But there's a far worse fate. They could become full-fledged jerks. Like Romney. --Jim Broede
