How can multi-millionaire relate to us?

Editor, the Advocate:

How can I believe someone can relate to us when they were born a multi-millionaire? I have one question to ask Romney, and I can guarantee if he can answer it then he has all the nomination. And I'm sure all of Victoria understands. My question is this: "When was the last time you sat with your family and decided which bill you were not going to pay?" If he can answer that, then he is in touch with the American struggling people. He may have created jobs when he was governor, but that didn't do anything for me and my neighbors in Victoria. We need someone real, someone that has had to work to make a living and knows the struggle. If you're born a millionaire, you don't know what it's like to take Christmas gifts back just to make rent. He is out of touch and we need someone else.
