C'mon Mr. Rosenthal: Work it, work it, work it!
If you can only sell the "Coveting Another Man's Wealth" envy theme, then surely right-thinking people, out of jealousy and spite, will turn against Mr. Romney, who's clearly just playing under the same tax system as Mr. Rosenthal and the rest of us. By the rules as the status quo has determined. (Much like plenty of heterosexual couples benefit by the status quo tax rules that disadvantage others. Do we hear daily whines of envy and jealousy out of Mr. Rosenthal on that meme? I wonder why not... other than that happens to be off the current Democrat scorecard.)
The fact that Mr. Romney -- and his family -- have seemingly acquired more marbles in the game than Mr. Rosenthal and his kin, surely outrages us all?!?
Not. Next thing you know, he'll have us coveting the candidate's classy wife and photogenic sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren.
"Do I smell personal prosperity out there that the rest of us don't share?!? Gather your pitchforks, and start your fires, peasants! This way everyone..."
Luckily, I don't think many other Americans, outside Mr. Rosenthal's cocktail and dinner party set, are that covetous of other people's choices. How many of us -- even if we magically could -- would swap our own situations for Mr. Romney's blessings?
"They'll have theirs,
and you have yours,
and I'll have mine....
and together we'll be fine!"
Name that Tune?

Answer: Different Strokes theme song.
Remember that one, Mr. Rosenthal?
Conrad Bain played a very generous, kindly (white -- if that need be added...) rich guy. (Culturally, you're really gonna have to work that Rich=Evil meme for it to pick up any steam, I'll bet...)
