No, because he earned it himself.  He didn't inherit it like most democrat elites.  
The way he acts a little ashamed of growing up well off might hurt him a bit.  Howard Hughes grew up well off too.

Yeah, good example - a madman who never became president.
way to say something idiotic.  In that scene (about MONEY!) Hughes wins vs. the Hepburn's 80-20.  FYI The Hepburn's are representative of democrats.

If you are choking and someone is about to save your life, does it matter whether that person has $5 or $5,000,000 in their bank account?


Yes, because the rich person is less likely to actually save your life, and might (probably will) make it worse.
Agreed.
How could you be that wrong without being blinded by hate?

I know a few doctors worth 5mil. that I would prefer to be around when I'm choking to death. In fact they are at the top of the list. Ever watch those videos from poor urban areas where someone is hit by a car or something and people just keep walking by the guy laying in the street?

George Bush was hurt by this in 1992 as well where it clearly became evident he was an elitist and couldn't connect with average people on their economic struggles. 

Mitt Romney and George H. W. Bush should take a history lesson from Franklin D. Roosevelt on how and why he was able to connect with the masses but they couldn't.

George W. was actually pretty good at connecting.  He was bad on TV (but good in the debates at looking more relatable than the other guy)/(also good at looking more relatable than the media).  He was best out on the stump (better than Obama) you really wanted to have a beer with him, even if it was non-alcoholic.  So, they could learn from W. as well.  Reagan had crazy skill, but he was a professional radio man, actor, pitch man, and campaign spokesman before he got into politics.
