Why do we even care whose parents and grandparents made the most, or least, money? Our country is involved in two ground wars and thisclose to a recession - and we sit here arguing about junk.
We shouldn't care... but it is apparently an issue that the candidates make so much money and claim to understand lower and middle class people because you CAN'T do both obviously

I personally don't care how much money they have made in their lifetime, how many houses they have, what brand of clothes they wear... or whatever other material things they have. and it certainly shouldn't be a deciding factor for who you will vote for (not you personally... just a general "you")
