Romney, Shut Up About the Middle Class

Is Mitt Romney not sympathetic enough to the wealthy? Columnist Kimberly A. Strassel continues the Wall Street Journal editorial page's anti-Romney campaign today with a piece accusing the former venture capitalist of indulging in "Republican guilt syndrome," and distancing himself from the wealthy in his stump speeches. "He's developed a form of Tourette's that causes him to employ the term 'middle class' in nearly every sentence," Strassel writes. She also laments that, like Obama, he seems to define the wealthy as those making above $200,000 per year. Leave it to the Journal to paint the richest Republican in the field as being too populist.
