American admire success achieved fairly and on one's own. What we don't like is inherited wealth and cheaters. The estate tax -- recently renamed the death tax by Repubicans -- was a Republican idea so people would succeed or fail on their own merit, not with the boost of inherited wealth. And cheaters are cheaters. Can you spell "insider trading"?

Romney was always wealthy. And his personal accomplishments are tainted by his seeming heartlessness toward those who lost their jobs (and dignity, apparently) when Bain Capital was through with them. And money in off-shore accounts implies he has something (almost literally) to hide.
