She has made it a point to talk up about how a horse that she got a $77,000 tax break on got her "better".

I can think of ways that $77,000 can make a lot of people better besides just Ann Romney, and they can probably contribute more to society than she ever has.

She has an expensive stable of horses that are costing tax payers money, and she has no right to stand by while her husband rants at poor sick people when she is a rich sick person. It's hypocritical, and nothing you or anyone else can say will convince me otherwise.

You shouldn't be convinced otherwise, either, because it is ridiculous on its face to think she is "underprivileged".
