The famous Romney video doesn’t add anything new. All it does is confirm the Atlas Shrugged mentality of the 2012 GOP, which is one step removed from divine right of kings: if you have money, then by God you deserve it and earned it no matter how you came by it, and anyone who doesn’t is a parasite grasping for what is rightfully your own.
