Romney: I Get Speakers' Fees From Time To Time, But Not Very Much
Just $362,000 last year alone.
There's nothing wrong with him making money. But for all his intelligence, he does seem to lack some basic common sense.
Like doubling down on the individual mandate, for example, which could have easily been abandoned, as he could point to studies showing that it doesn't do anything to reduce the pool of the uninsured.
(Which stands to reason-- how many people with enough money for health insurance choose against it? A small number, sure. But enough to justify an intrusive diktat?)
