As per some of my recent tweets, a discussion must be had regarding Romney's wealth. The links below prove there is some discussion out there and I'm glad it is putting some context around this issue.
For instance, Romney's wealth is calculated to be around $220 million, while Washington's wealth is rated at over $500 million. JFK comes in second according to some reports.
USA Today.
The Atlantic: "The Net Worth of the US Presidents"
And the Washington Post has a nice article on candidates and their wealth that I couldn't link because I don't want to sign up in order to read the article. Their loss.
On a similar note, here's a link to an article by a rabbi in the Wall Street Journal called "What the Bible Teaches About Capitalism."
