Rep. Jason Chaffetz says the constant attacks against Mitt Romney's wealth are a diversionary tactic.

Chaffetz defended Romney on CNN saying that, despite what Democrats say, Romney is not hiding his wealth. Via the Washington Times:

"He's been very successful, he's released everything he's required to release, including paying more than 16 percent of his income to charitable givings, so I think it's a diversionary tactic," Mr. Chaffetz said on CNN. "Most people — they don't care about this. Governor Romney's been very successful. Get over it. It's a reality — he's been successful. That's the kind of guy that I want president ... he can turn the economy around."

A diversion from what?

The fact that Mitt Romney is a 1% snob who has nothing in common with us?

He is so detached from our shared experience that he can't even properly pretend to care about us without revealing that he really doesn't.

Normal Americans pay taxes at rates twice as high as Romney, and they care very much if his wealth is stolen from them.

In America, the word "SUCCESSFUL" now means "I found a legal way to steal from the poor or the public". "SUCCESSFUL" is now adjective that is used to describe a villan.

When you are asking the American voters to believe in you, you need to show that you believe in America.

The Swiss and Cayman Island bank accounts demonstrate that Mitt Romney does not believe in America. His past behavior indicates that he lacks the disposition of character and personal concern for improving the lot of all Americans.
