In an article written by Nicholas Confessore, David Kocieniewski and Michael Luo on January 18, 2012, they discuss about how Mitt Romney is being targeted because of the fact that he is extremely wealthy. Romney has a estimated fortune of about a quarter of a billion dollars. He is among the wealthiest people to ever run for president. Republicans and Democrats are on his case just because he is reluctant to release his tax return. I personally find no problem with this. A person that works hard their whole life for what they have should not be forced to do anything. I think the other candidates are just trying to make him look bad because he does not want to show everyone his tax returns. With only a couple more days to go until the primary they are trying to make it so the people have doubt in their mind. Once that doubt is in their they will probably vote for someone else. This one problem that they are trying to stir up should not really affect his campaign in the long term but it could make him lose a few votes in Saturday's primary.
