I could care less if a presidential candidate is a member of the 1% or not. What I do care about are their leadership qualities, visions of the future and plans to fix the current problems.

It's not about how much money a person has. It's about how they treat other people, regardless of how much money those people have or don't have. People forget that the Kennedys were part of the 1%, as was FDR. They were about serving the people, not the corporations. That's what matters.

Some are in the 1% not because they did anything unethical. The question is how did there did there and who do they intend to serve with their power. I cannot trust Romney, but there are others in the 1% that I do believe care about the rest of the world.
