Reality Check

To have been brought up in a big, beautiful home where there was no fear or fighting about having enough money until next payday; where you were given the best possible education early in life and later got into Harvard and earned a law degree;  to  have been surrounded by elegance, good manners, and all the social graces that give a guy a head start in the business community and most everywhere, for that matter—well, all that's wonderful.   I'm happy for anyone with such good fortune.  I'm  just not happy when, with all those opportunities and privileges, you claim to have inherited nothing, Mr. Romney.   What you've been given can't dismissed as "nothing."  It's possible you don't understand that.  But we understand, and that's what matters. It matters because this election is too important for voters NOT to understand, as much as possible, who you are and what has shaped who you are today.
