Well,
he and the other morbidly rich can agree to give a little back to keep from losing it all. They can see the handwriting on the wall, just as many rich did in the 1930's. FDR saw that he and other wealthy families could either fight the wave of Socialism building or control how they gave some back to save their a**es and their wealth. As with most, if not all morbidly rich, Romney's money came from actions just short of criminal and very far from ethical or moral. None of it 'earned'.
