...the fact that school fees are inconsequential to a family with a $500,000,000 net worth. Ann Romney complains about school fees when they are meaningless to her but budget-busting to the majority of Americans. And furthermore, the Americans who are affected by student fees are punished by Romney's policy's and schemes that hurt senior citizens and further destroy the middle class.

She shouldn't even pretend to care about these matters because her husband clearly has contempt for anyone who feels the sting of school fees.
