Base pay is unimportant, it's the perks that are sought after.Romney would be taking a pay cut to be president."No, proven loser."
Better reason though he's a uber wealthy who has nothing in common with the average American and is likely looking at the Presidency more as a way to accrue even more wealth doing favors for special interests.
I hate Romney and all, but I just don't get that vibe.
He doesn't need the presidency to accrue wealth. Look at his history, it's a fact. The man's King Midas, lol.
Romney was never in it for the money or perks. He has all the money he and his family will ever need.
Why is it so hard to believe someone would run for president because he wants to help the country?
because the elitist had no interest in "helping the country". he felt he was entitled to it because his father (who was better than him in every possible way didn't get it). he wanted the power. plain and simple.
attaching some sort of altruism to Mitt Romney is laughable. but it would have been nice if he was even half the man his father was in that regard.
