The fact that his father was wealthy is irrelevant. Some parents help a lot, some a little, and some, none at all. Unlike liberal parents, conservative parents teach their children that they must work hard to accomplish their financial goals. That's what my parents taught me and it worked well.
Also, did you even read the links that SF and I provided? Allow me to provide you with some excerpts:
"Romney attended Stanford University for a year, where he worked as a night security guard to fund secret trips home to see Ann." If he was getting help from daddy, why did he work as a security guard?
"In June 1968, an automobile Romney was driving in southern France was hit by another vehicle, seriously injuring him and killing one of his passengers, the wife of the mission president." Yeah, this guy's never had a hard day in his life.
"The Romneys' first son, Tagg, was born in 1970 while the Romneys were undergraduates at Brigham Young and living in a basement apartment. Ann subsequently gave birth to Matt (1971), Josh (1975), Ben (1978), and Craig (1981). Ann Romney's work as a homemaker would enable her husband to pursue his career."
"Ann Romney was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998; Romney described watching her fail a series of neurological tests as the worst day of his life."
Yeah, sounds like a real picnic.
