Mitt Romney has truly become his own worst enemy. Throughout the campaign, he has continuously changed his viewpoints on a variety of topics. In that respect, he is like a chameleon. There are two reasons for this. First, he does this to fit in with the Republicans. Second, by doing this, he is distinguishing himself from Obama and the Democrats. Despite the underhandedness of these actions, they seem to be working. That is, until the Florida primary. Whatever lead Mitt Romney gained
from the Florida primary backfired against him when he made controversial remarks
about the economic classes. Quote as saying, “"I'm not concerned about the
very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs a repair, I'll fix it. I'm
not concerned about the very rich.... I'm concerned about the very heart of
America, the 90 to 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.” With
these words, he has received a plethora of criticism. It’s not a good sign that
his focal point is so narrow. The line between the working and poor class is very
thin and can be easily crossed. If the safety net is as competent as he says it
is, I feel that there wouldn't be such a huge disparity. Within the last ten
years, the middle class has continued to decline into the lower classes. With
companies shipping out jobs overseas, the amount of available jobs has significantly
decreased. The remaining jobs left are those that the average American
considers beneath them. With this attitude, no wonder a multitude of illegal immigrants have come here.
