I haven't seen the source video for this, so maybe it was taken out of context like that (stupid) "I like to fire people" gaffe. But either way, how tone deaf this will be interpreted.
Romney: Income Inequality Should Only be Talked About in "Quiet Rooms"Mitt Romney was asked by Matt Lauer whether questioning Wall Street practices and the "distribution of wealth and power" in America today is a legitimate issue. He suggested it was nothing more than class warfare and envy.
Dan Amira: "To sum up, for the video impaired: Romney thinks gripes about income inequality reflect nothing but envy, and that such topics should only be discussed in 'quiet rooms.' What Romney is saying is, maybe we can debate income inequality and the abuses of Wall Street, if you insist on it, but it's nothing to get upset about."
