I have the time to do my own cooking and cleaning (such as it is.) I don't have to maintain a home in one state and work in DC.

This applies to any of the candidates. And yes, there's a point where if someone's bringing in millions every year and hoarding it I might consider that a moral failing. But 300K a year? For me, in my life, that would be astounding wealth. I'd certainly have enough to spare a good amount for charity. But I also don't have my "employers" examining my personal life with a fine-toothed comb and speculating on my potential for success based on where I live, what brand of suit I wear, and what I served at my last party.

PUBLIC MOJO! Well said!
