With his impossibly coiffed and unctuous Mad Men look, Mitt “money bags” Romney oozes the obscenely rich guy persona of wiping his feet with the middle and lower classes (or putting them on the roof of his car). Despite the fact that Willard (an everyman’s name) Romney is estimated to be worth more than $200 million, he makes painful strides to hoodwink inform average Republican voters that he’s just an average unemployed guy trying to get by. But this predatory capitalist with mountebank business ethics to match doesn’t always remember to pretend that he’s just your average guy. In fact, sometimes he says stuff that would make the Monopoly guy seem average.
Here are some of the greatest Mitt Romney quotes that show him to be the total slimy 0.01 percent guy that he so utterly is:
1. “I like those fancy raincoats you bought [to people wearing plastic ponchos]. Really sprung for the big bucks.”
2. “I have some great friends who are NASCAR team owners.”
4. “Rick [Perry], I’ll tell you what: 10,000 bucks? $10,000 bet?”
5. “Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs.”
6. “Corporations are people, my friend.”
7. “I’m not concerned about the very poor. … We have a safety net there.”
8. “I’m also unemployed,” when net worth is estimated over $200 million
9. “I like being able to fire people who provide services to me.”
10. “I get speaker’s fees from time to time, but not very much,” when his fees are $374,000
